Were seeking research engineers to build infrastructure for breakthrough innovations in AI agents, reinforcement learning, and simulation environments. You will design and implement high-quality data pipelines, simulation systems, and tooling that enable cutting-edge agent research. You will work in an organization of world-class machine learning researchers and engineers. Our work powers technologies across the Apple ecosystem and is published in the most selective scientific journals and conferences. We are a team of best-in-the-world research scientists and engineers building the foundations for autonomous AI systems. We work on exciting new technologies that bring joy to millions of people. In our daily work, the team stays innovative, productive, and fun by sharing some key values:Passion for the mission: Were here to make something extraordinary. We seek whatever work is right and strive for the best possible results.
Modesty: The right answer is more significant than being right. We search for solutions as a team and value clear-eyed feedback.
Lean habits: You cant grow without limits. Time constraints and big goals encourage us to sharpen our focus and learn to make phenomenal decisions.5+ years of ML engineering experience building and maintaining data-intensive systems - including feature pipelines, training infrastructure, model serving, or evaluation frameworks. Solid software engineering skills in complex systems - Fluency in Python. You deliver clean, well-tested code. Hands-on experience with distributed ML systems - CI/CD at scale, distributed testing, or ML evaluation pipelines. Strong quantitative and data skills - comfortable with SQL, statistical reasoning, and translating ambiguous signals into clear, actionable findings. Proven track record shipping ML systems end-to-end - from problem framing and data curation through training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring in production.Bachelors or Masters Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or Physics from a strong program. 2+ years at a company building AI products or agent systems. Experience with job orchestration frameworks (Airflow, Prefect, Ray, etc.). Familiarity with macOS/iOS development ecosystems. Active personal interest in AI agents-youre already experimenting on your own time.
We’re a diverse collection of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, as well as with services, including iTunes, the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple Pay. And the same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant. Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be, no matter what your team or your role. So bring your passion, courage, and original thinking and get ready to share it, because every new product, service, or feature we invent is the result of people working together to make each others’ ideas stronger. Innovation at this level depends on people who represent the variety of the human experience and inspire us with their own fresh perspectives. Together, we’ll do amazing work that can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own. Learn more about working at Apple.
