Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas quickly become extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences. Bring passion and dedication to your work, and there's no telling what you could accomplish.

Do you want to make Siri and Apple products smarter for our users? The Information Intelligence teams are building groundbreaking technology for algorithmic search, machine learning, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. The features we build are redefining how hundreds of millions of people use their computers and mobile devices to search and find what they are looking for.

Within this organization, our group focuses on web-scale extraction and enrichment, transforming raw web content into structured, high-quality knowledge that powers Apple's intelligent experiences. We design scalable extraction algorithms, develop advanced web data deduplication techniques, and apply machine learning to process trillions of records and petabytes of data. We also build and maintain Apple's Knowledge Graph, integrating diverse data sources into a unified representation of the world knowledge.

We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in large-scale data and ML infrastructure. You will build and optimize pipelines that extract, process, and serve data artifacts while advancing the ML frameworks and tooling that underpin Apple's knowledge and search systems.

Description

Join a dynamic team within Apple's Information Intelligence Infrastructure organization that designs, builds, and operates large-scale systems powering search and AI experiences for billions of users.
