Software Incubation ML Engineer

Summary Posted: Jun 23, 2023 Weekly Hours: 40 Role Number: 200487810 We are a creativity-oriented engineering team focused on conceiving and prototyping the future of software on Apple’s devices. We take big, fuzzy ideas about what might be possible and turn them into concrete concepts, prototypes and livable software. We focus on future experiences and technologies involving machine learning, natural language, input & sensing, and system intelligence. We are passionate about exploring new ideas using whatever tools help us make something tangible. Most often, we choose to modify or extend Apple’s existing software using Objective-C or Swift. But we’re open to using the best tools that help us learn: design tools, prototyping apps, ML, etc. We are looking for a creative, learning-oriented, collaborative individual to come help us explore what the future could look like. Key Qualifications Key Qualifications Ideally, 5 years of experience designing for and/or writing software for Apple platforms At least part of those 5 years writing software for either macOS and iOS using Swift and Objective-C. An understanding of machine learning concepts, and knowledge of a wide variety of machine learning libraries / packages A learning mentality and a willingness to try things that may fail. You should be able to learn from both success and failures. Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical teams Description Description Our team nurtures early-stage ideas into well-developed, usable experiences. For this big idea to work, is there a piece of experience that must feel great? How can we could use machine learning to help make these concepts real? You’ll work closely with systems engineers and designers to help demonstrate what capabilities ML can bring to our software. The products we build are part prototype, part proof of concept and part sales pitch, so communicating clearly and being able to empathize with other people's perspectives are key skills for our team. So is the ability to give and receive feedback. Education & Experience Education & Experience A background in Computer Science fundamentals, ML fundamentals, plus experience shipping software is ideal. If that’s not your background, but you can show a strong track record of curiosity, making, and learning, we’d love to talk to you.
