Responsibilities
You will be part of a team whose focus will be on applied machine learning, on building and deploying models that constantly advance the state-of-the-art
In Siri Attention & Invocation, we own our user journeys end-to-end
We measure the impact of our deployed models not just on pre-ship evaluation sets, but also post-ship on production traffic
We optimize error rates on existing data
We also define new metrics that take into account the user experience we want to deliver and apply them to the data that best represents the next feature we ship
And we are sometimes constrained by the limits of on-device computation — that is where your ability to innovate will be most impactful
You will collaborate with many dynamic, cross-functional teams consisting of software engineers and machine learning engineers/scientists
The ideal candidate will excel in both academic rigor and engineering efficacy, staying up-to-date with the latest research advancements as well as delivering reliable and robust models to all devices for all users around the world
If you are passionate about building outstanding products and using the full spectrum of your skills to extend the core technology that lets Siri understand, personalize, engage, and interact in new and exciting ways, then we cannot wait to hear from you
As a member of the team you will be responsible for researching and developing innovative ML solutions for challenging problems that will meaningfully affect how users interact with Siri on Apple products
You will be looking at the user experience we want to deliver, define the optimization metrics and propose solutions to achieve the goal
You will bring these innovations to life by working collaboratively with partner teams to take them all the way to production
You are self-motivated, excellent problem solver with strong execution
You are good at building relationships and work well with change and ambiguity
You have strong programming skills with experience prototyping and converting ideas into reality
