AIML - Distinguished Engineer, Foundation Model

Apple is revolutionizing artificial intelligence by developing sophisticated foundation models that power intelligent features across our product ecosystem.

We are seeking a Distinguished Engineer to set the technical direction for the systems that power our foundation model training — with an initial focus on the inference engine that the foundation model team relies on for training, model evaluation, and other needs in the model development loop.

This is a senior individual-contributor leadership role. You will be one of the most senior technical voices for foundation model systems at Apple: defining the vision, driving execution across many teams, and raising the bar for engineering excellence. The role starts with the inference engine, but we expect you to move fluidly into adjacent training systems areas as the needs of the foundation model program evolve.

Description engineered specifically for Apple silicon and for experiences that are private, personal, and deeply integrated into the OS. Behind that modeling work sits a demanding systems layer, and the inference engine is at its center.
