Data Scientist - Intelligent Experiences, MLO

Do you believe machine learning and AI can change the world? We do. We're the ML Data team within Apple's Intelligent System Experience (ISE) group, and we build the high-quality, high-scale datasets that train the ML features across many Apple products — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Our work sits behind some of the most visible and personal experiences Apple ships: the wallpaper on your Lock Screen, personalized stickers in iMessage, on-device Genmoji and other Apple Intelligence generative models, and models that recognize faces and build memories of the people you love in Photos.

We're looking for a data scientist who's passionate about ML data and excited to shape the training data behind Apple's next generation of multi-modal features. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings rigorous scientific reasoning and owns problems end-to-end.

Join us and you’ll shape shipping products from your first week, working with petabytes of multi-modal data.

Description

You will design and operate the end-to-end data lifecycle that supports training, fine-tuning, and evaluation of large language models and diffusion models. Day to day, that means building distributed pipelines that clean, deduplicate, and enrich massive multi-modal datasets; standing up synthetic data generation pipelines with LLM-based generators, validators, and judges; and engineering agentic workflows — multi-step, tool-using LLM systems — that scale human judgment across far more data than a human team could review directly.
