TL;DR · ML Model Integration Platform Engineer

The ML Model Integration Platform Eng joins the Apple Service Engineering team as a senior engineer to build and integrate technologies for Apple Intelligence and Private Cloud Compute. This role involves architecting and delivering platform components that integrate Large Language Models into the software ecosystem, ensuring systems are robust, scalable, and easy for other teams to build upon. Key responsibilities include developing runtime services, APIs, tooling, and automation for model consumption, deployment, versioning, evaluation, and monitoring. The candidate will use C/C++, Python, SQL, and Shell to build internal tools like CLIs and micro-services. The work focuses on distributed systems for model serving, prioritizing reliability, throughput, observability, and cost efficiency while navigating fast-moving requirements to create resilient, future-proof solutions for AI-driven experiences.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain runtime services, APIs, and automation for model deployment, versioning, and monitoring.
  • Design and deliver platform components to integrate Large Language Models into the application stack.
  • Build internal tools including CLIs, micro-services, and automation pipelines to improve developer experience.
  • Drive architectural decisions for distributed systems to optimize reliability, throughput, observability, and cost efficiency.
  • Architect and deliver systems that enable the safe deployment of ML-powered features.
  • Map system-level changes to ensure platform resilience and future-proof technical approaches.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience in building and operating production systems.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strong background in distributed systems with the ability to reason about scale, concurrency, and failure modes.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing internal tools, automation, and service-level components.
  • Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as C/C++, Python, SQL, and Shell.
  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence decisions through technical depth and clarity.
  • Understanding and practical experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes) (preferred).
  • Solid background in one or more major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) relevant to ML workloads (preferred).
