ML Research Engineer

Video is at the core of nearly all Apple products and as a research engineer on our team you will build the infrastructure pipelines systems and models that power the next generation of video technology. We are looking for a highly ambitious individual who will flourish working on technically meaningful problems across the full ML lifecycle including training infrastructure performance optimization data and production deployment. Your work will redefine the video experience for billions of users.

In this role you will work together with colleagues to design scale and harden the systems that bring ML-based video approaches into current and future Apple products. This position requires a highly self-directed individual who is comfortable working at the intersection of ML systems engineering and performance optimization. Strong engineering and analytical skills will be critical towards solving challenging problems across efficiency optimization training data and deployment.
