AI Platform Engineer: Build AI-Driven Engineering Tools

Apple, Inc.; Cupertino (CA); Sur place; USD 150 000 - 278 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Apple is seeking a software engineer at Cupertino to build AI-native platforms and data systems that accelerate how engineers ship next-generation sensing technologies. You will work with ML scientists, algorithm engineers, hardware teams, and human factors researchers to create reproducible analysis workflows, AI-powered tools, and scalable backends that power iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad features.

This role emphasizes hands-on implementation, end-to-end systems design, and collaboration across

Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, or related degree.
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Proficiency in Python and at least one of: Swift, TypeScript, or another systems-level language.
• Experience designing and building backend services, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience building with modern AI/agent frameworks.
• Strong software architecture and API design sensibilities.
• Experience building retrieval pipelines (RAG, embeddings, vector search) or knowledge retrieval systems.
• Strong communicator who works effectively across disciplines.
• Experience evaluating and iterating on AI system outputs.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts and a bias toward shipping.

Responsabilités

• Build novel AI-powered platforms that fundamentally change how engineers explore, analyze, and act on complex program data.
• Design data infrastructure that brings together diverse knowledge sources - making the right context available to AI and engineers at the right time, with appropriate access controls
• Create reproducible analysis workflows with full provenance tracking, so that AI-generated insights can be trusted, iterated on, and shared across disciplines
• Develop agentic pipelines that automate multi-step research and analysis while keeping engineers in the loop to steer and validate
• Build infrastructure for continuous, automated intelligence — from CI-integrated analysis to background monitoring that surfaces what matters
• Design collaboration systems that help cross-functional teams (SW, HW, Design, Human Factors) accumulate and leverage shared institutional knowledge
• Partner with algorithm teams shipping features for iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and future products to understand their data challenges and deliver tooling that compounds in value over time
