TL;DR · Agent Sciences and Infrastructure Engineer, AIML

As an Agent Sciences and Infrastructure Engineer, AIML, you will join the Intelligence Agents, Infrastructure, and Research team to build infrastructure and agentic systems used to prototype, optimize, and ship Apple Intelligence features. You will work alongside software developers and applied scientists on large language modeling, agent harnesses, evaluation, and pipelines connecting training, adaptation, and deployment. Your daily work involves managing complex engineering projects from ambiguous starting points to production systems while balancing velocity and maintainability. The role requires expertise in distributed systems, APIs, and reliable code using Python and UNIX environments. You will develop tools for data standardization, validation, and lineage for machine learning pipelines at scale. This position focuses on the technical challenges of optimizing and interpreting algorithms for both on-device and server-based Apple Foundation Models to solve complex problems in AI product development.

What you'll do

  • Build and operate infrastructure for machine learning training, evaluation pipelines, and data tooling.
  • Develop agentic systems and frameworks to prototype and ship Apple Intelligence features.
  • Design and maintain distributed systems, APIs, and reliable code for large language models.
  • Create tools for LLM evaluation, tool-use systems, and post-training optimization workflows.
  • Manage data standardization, validation, and lineage for machine learning pipelines at scale.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks in research and translate them into robust production tooling.
  • Lead complex, multi-month engineering projects from ambiguous starting points to production.
  • Implement benchmarking and observability practices for complex AI systems.

What we're looking for

  • Ability to independently scope and lead complex, multi-month engineering projects from ambiguous starting points to production.
  • Experience designing, building, and operating infrastructure for machine learning training, evaluation pipelines, data tooling, or agent harnesses.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals in distributed systems, APIs, testing, and writing reliable code.
  • Proficiency in Python and UNIX environments including the use of agentic coding tools.
  • Experience with LLM evaluation infrastructure, tool-use systems, or agent frameworks.
  • Familiarity with post-training, optimizing large language models, and associated workflows.
  • Ability to identify bottlenecks in research and translate them into robust tooling.
  • A BS with 5+ years experience, an MS with 3+ years experience, or a PhD with 1+ year experience.
