Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new insights have a way of becoming extraordinaryproducts, services, and customer experiences very quickly. We are looking for a Software DataEngineer to build the tools, services, and data pipelines that support model evaluation at scale,across many models and high volumes of evaluation runs. You will join a team that takes aquality-first approach to build solutions that keep our systems reliable and accurate. The idealcandidate owns their work from prototype through production, is fluent with agentic codingtools, and keeps codebases lean through disciplined code review, branching, and CI/CD. If youwant your evaluation work to shape how models ship, we'd like to hear from you.Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead togreat work. Every new product we build, service we create, or experience we deliver is the resultof us making each other's ideas stronger.
