At Apple, we focus deeply on our customers’ experience. Apple Ads brings this same approach to advertising, helping people find exactly what they’re looking for and helping advertisers grow their businesses! Our technology powers ads and sponsorships across Apple Services, including the App Store, Apple News, and MLS Season Pass. Everything we do is designed for trust, connection, and impact: We respect user privacy, integrate advertising thoughtfully into the experience, and deliver value for advertisers of all sizes—from small app developers to big, global brands. Because when advertising is done right, it benefits everyone! We're seeking a self-motivated individual that will build out the next generation of our ads platforms and ensure that Apple provides the most relevant and high quality ads experience while maintaining a healthy marketplace. You will develop models and systems that improve our platform across the board, develop production code to generate high quality ad recommendations and work closely with business partners to help drive the development of new products as well as perform large scale and complex experiments to understand their effects. You will also drive strategic outcomes through meaningful innovation in multiple fields by owning the development and application of sophisticated techniques and algorithms to improve our ad network. You have, or will develop a deep understanding of the ad network behavior, and will partner with product management and business leadership to prioritize an innovation roadmap across multiple technical domains. You will lead the conception, development, and delivery of innovative capabilities that differentiate our products and are core to our business. You should have experience developing and implementing machine learning or optimization algorithms, ideally within the ads space, recommendations, or search relevance. You will have an excellent understanding of scalable architectures and thrive working in Agile environments. The ability to be a great teammate under potentially tight constraints is key to success.
