Description
The Intelligent Quality Systems team designs and builds ML-powered systems that transform how Apple approaches software quality at scale. We work across the testing lifecycle: intelligently selecting which tests are most relevant to a code change, automatically triaging test failures to their root cause, validating UI and audio experiences with vision models, surfacing test coverage gaps from change descriptions and defect history, and building the data platforms that tie it all together. In this role, you'll bring ML ideas to life on real-world, large-scale software systems. You'll prototype and evaluate techniques for problems like change-impact prediction, LLM-powered failure analysis, multimodal UI regression detection, and automated test recommendation. You'll design data collection and evaluation strategies, work with large-scale test result and code change data, and build systems robust enough to operate reliably across one of the world's largest software engineering organizations. You will be a crucial bridge between research ideas and production reality, identifying gaps in data quality, modeling assumptions, and system design before they become issues at scale. You'll succeed here if you enjoy turning ideas into working ML systems, care deeply about measurement and rigorous evaluation, and find it rewarding to see your work directly improve the productivity and quality of software shipped to hundreds of millions of people.
Minimum Qualifications
3+ years of experience with machine learning in academic or professional settings, with demonstrated work on substantial ML projects beyond coursework Strong programming and software engineering skills; ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code Practical understanding of ML fundamentals, model training, evaluation, and debugging, and ability to implement algorithms from papers or specifications BS or MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with NLP, large language models, code understanding, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) Background in computer vision or multimodal ML Experience building or maintaining data pipelines and ML infrastructure at scale Familiarity with software testing, CI/CD systems, or developer tooling Experience working with large-scale structured or semi-structured data (logs, test results, code diffs) Comfort operating in environments where ground truth labels are noisy, ambiguous, or expensive to obtain
