Employer job description
From Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Join the team shaping the data foundation and intelligence for Apple's frontier foundation models. We believe that breakthrough AI capabilities are driven not only by model architecture and scale, but by the quality, diversity, and intelligence of the data used to train them. As part of the Apple Foundation Model team, you will help define how next-generation foundation models learn, reason, plan, and interact with the world, powering intelligent experiences used by billions of people.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research, large-scale training and data systems, and impactful consumer products.
Description
As a member of Apple's Foundation Models team, you will develop the data strategies, pipelines, and methodologies that drive model capability across the full training lifecycle, including pre-training, mid-training, and post-training. You will work closely with researchers, engineers, and product teams to identify capability gaps, design data-centric solutions, and create high-quality training signals for reasoning, agentic behavior, multimodal understanding, tool use, and alignment.
