Job summary

Apple Inc. in Cupertino, CA is seeking a Software Engineer Manager for the Agentic Evaluation Platform. You will lead a team building backend services, compute orchestration, and evaluation harnesses to enable reliable, scalable Siri evaluations across Apple devices.

You will define the technical direction, own APIs, and partner with QE and infrastructure teams to deliver high-quality platform capabilities while growing engineers and maintaining a strong ownership culture.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience developing production software (e.g., Python, Java, Go, or Swift).
  • 3+ years of engineering management experience, including owning roadmap and delivery, mentoring, setting clear expectations, and providing consistent, honest feedback.
  • Strong technical leadership and the ability to set architectural direction and inspire a team.
  • Experience with test infrastructure, CI/CD, or evaluation/ML platforms.
  • Proactive and self-motivated, with demonstrated creative and critical-thinking abilities.
  • Excellent spoken and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • MS or BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow a team of engineers building backend services, compute orchestration, and evaluation harnesses.
  • Set the team's technical direction and roadmap, and own delivery against it.
  • Own the backend services and APIs that expose evaluation as a platform capability - job submission, execution, and results retrieval.
  • Own compute orchestration across heterogeneous device and host fleets: scheduling, capacity, allocation, and the throughput and utilization targets that follow.
  • Own harness engineering - the layer that drives devices and models through a run, captures output, and hands off to scoring.
  • Define and steward the interfaces and contracts between harness, pipelines, and consuming teams, including versioning, backward compatibility, and migration paths.
  • Own the data workflows that move results from execution through scoring to storage and reporting, and the schemas they depend on.
  • Deliver and evolve reliability and health dashboards and release-readiness signals that leadership relies on for ship decisions.
  • Set the bar for diagnosability across the stack - from environment provisioning through pipeline execution to scoring - prioritizing automated triage and durable fixes over recurring manual investigation.
  • Partner with QE engineers, feature teams, architecture leads, and infrastructure teams to align on interfaces, priorities, and shared standards, and to hold a defensible quality bar.
  • Recruit, mentor, and develop engineers, including senior ICs, with a focus on engineering rigor, technical depth, and clear ownership.
  • Operate effectively in ambiguity, reshaping team scope as the evaluation platform and the underlying Siri architecture evolve.
