FindMy Data Scientist

Apple Maps is changing and data is in the drivers seat. Our mission is to build the best map in the world. As Data Science organization our goal is to harness the power of user data to help Maps make great decisions. We work in a data-driven environment where Data Scientists are instrumental in keeping the data that powers Apple Maps up-to-date and relevant.

We are looking for a talented experienced Data Scientist to join our cross-functional team focusing on the deep evaluation of Maps services and features. We work directly with the Engineering and Product teams responsible for search routing places FindMy and other products that impact our millions of users every day. Our day-to-day work crosses many functional areas including experiment design AB testing exploratory data analysis metrics design generative analytics data mining and more.
