Are you passionate about Generative AI? Are you interested in working on groundbreaking generative modeling technologies to enrich billions of people? We are driving multiple initiatives focused on advancing generative models, and we are seeking technical leaders experienced in training, adapting and deploying large-scale generative models. This role emphasizes AI safety, multimodal understanding and generation, and the development of agentic systems that push the boundaries of what AI can achieve responsibly. We are the Intelligence System Experience (ISE) team within Apple’s software organization. The team operates at the intersection of multimodal machine learning and system experiences. It oversees a range of experiences such as System Experience (Springboard, Settings), Image Generation, Genmoji, Writing tools, Keyboards, Pencil & Paper, Generative Shortcuts - all powered by production scale ML workflows. Our multidisciplinary ML teams focus on a broad spectrum of areas, including Visual Generation Foundation Models, Multimodal Understanding, Visual Understanding of People, Text, Handwriting, and Scenes, Personalization, Knowledge Extraction, Conversation Analysis, Behavioral Modeling for Proactive Suggestions, and Privacy-Preserving Learning. These innovations form the foundation of the seamless, intelligent experiences our users enjoy every day. We are looking for senior research engineers to architect and advance multimodal LLM and Agentic AI technologies, ensuring their safe and responsible deployment in the real world. An ideal candidate will have the ability to lead diverse cross functional efforts spanning ML modeling, prototyping, validation and privacy-preserving learning. A strong foundation in machine learning and generative AI, along with a proven ability to translate research innovations into production-grade systems, is essential. Industry experience in Vision-Language multimodal modeling, Reinforcement and Preference Learning, Multimodal Safety, and Agentic AI Safety & Security would be important needs.
