TL;DR · AIML Machine Learning Manager, Red Teaming - Responsible AI and Safety

AIML - Machine Learning Manager, Red Teaming - Responsible AI and Safety joins the Responsible AI and Safety team to lead a dedicated red-teaming program. This role involves building and leading a team of engineers to actively probe Apple Intelligence features for safety and security risks, focusing on discovering real vulnerabilities rather than measuring known ones. Key responsibilities include setting an independent red-teaming agenda, managing external partnerships, defining success metrics, and providing technical direction for automated red-teaming capabilities. The position requires proficiency in Python, experience with generative models, and foundation model-based AI programming using tools like DSPy. Candidates must navigate noisy, crowd-based data labels and human evaluations while addressing complex problems like prompt injection and bias in generative AI systems to ensure equitable and secure technology.

What you'll do

  • Build and lead a team of red-teaming engineers with sustained ownership of specific feature clusters.
  • Set an independent red-teaming agenda focused on active vulnerability discovery rather than standard evaluation.
  • Own the coverage strategy for pre-ship qualification, post-ship monitoring, and foundation model red-teaming.
  • Define divisions of responsibility with adjacent security teams and coordinate escalation paths for cross-cutting risks.
  • Manage external red-teaming partnerships including scoping value, cost, and pipeline integration.
  • Define, instrument, and report on red-teaming success criteria to leadership on a recurring basis.
  • Provide technical direction on the development of automated red-teaming capabilities.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field, or an equivalent qualification.
  • Experience working with generative models for evaluation and product development with knowledge of common challenges and failures.
  • Strong engineering skills and experience writing production-quality code in Python.
  • Deep experience in foundation model-based AI programming and a drive to innovate in this space.
  • Experience working with noisy, crowd-based data labels and human evaluations.
  • Publication record in relevant conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or EMNLP (preferred).
  • Experience working on Responsible AI and AI Safety (preferred).
  • Strong organizational and operational skills working with large, multi-functional, and diverse teams (preferred).
