Job description

Summary

Join the team redefining what a deeply personal and integrated assistant can be. As part of the Siri organization, you will help shape one of the world's most widely used AI assistants, powered by our next-generation of Apple Intelligence, with capabilities like personal context understanding and on-screen awareness, built with privacy from the ground up. Your work will have direct, meaningful impact for users across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. This is a rare opportunity to build at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and human-centered design, shipping technology that is centered around users and their needs.Evaluation is at the heart of how we build our product. As Siri AI becomes more and more powerful and offers ever richer experiences to our users, our evaluations have to keep pace. We are seeking a senior manager to help drive our evaluation efforts. The role will involve managing teams working on evaluation development and data science, and leading high-impact initiatives to bring state-of-the-art agentic evaluation to the whole Siri team.

Description

As part of the work on next generation Siri, we are developing novel measurements of its quality. To ensure that the evaluation systems we are building are reliable, we plan benchmarking their accuracy on a wide range of features, locales, and platforms using humans in the loop.
