On the Input Experience NLP team, we build the language models that underpin intelligent text input across Apple platforms, from keyboard auto correction to the Writing Tools and Smart Reply features announced at WWDC 2024. We believe that generative AI is an incredibly promising technology that can help people communicate effectively and express themselves clearly, and we have only just begun to incorporate this technology into our products. On our team, you will help build the future and have a voice in what shape it takes. We are looking for a Machine Learning Research Engineer to help our ML models grow even smarter and reason about personal context in a privacy-preserving way.

  2. Definition of robust automated evaluation metrics to facilitate hillclimbing model quality.
  3. Failure analysis to understand shortcomings of our models.
  4. Research into techniques for improving model behavior.
  5. Curation and synthesis of representative training and evaluation data.
  6. Implementation of experiments and simulations to assess the value of model changes.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science or related field with at least 2 years of industry experience.
  • Strong Python programming skills, with experience developing production-quality Python modules.
  • Solid background in machine learning, data science, natural language processing, or statistics.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience building and maintaining model pipelines end-to-end, from data curation to evaluation.
  • Ability to design and perform experiments that bring ML and NLP research ideas to production.
  • Familiarity with LLMs, such as SFT, RHLF, prompt engineering, data synthesis, automatic evaluation, and RAG.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • History of developing Python packages and supporting other users.
  • Record of publications, innovations, and/or leadership.
  • Background in linguistics, fluency in multiple languages, or a passion for scaling NLP features for global audiences.

Additional Requirements:

The base pay range for this role is between $135,400 and $250,600, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
