Do you feel you think differently, you are eager to break status quo, are bold and ambitious, aren’t afraid to take risks and are passionate to build the best of class technology. If yes, what better place to be at and do this than Apple? At Apple, “we think different, we push the boundaries of computing and intelligence. We build products that bring smile to people’s face”. Foundation Model Infrastructure team, within Machine Learning Platform Technologies organization is the back-bone of Apple Intelligence. It builds frameworks, services and tools that power the largest Apple foundation models on servers. Our Infrastructure powers a wide gamut of services at Apple including Apple Search, Apple Music, AppleTV, AppStore, iMessages, Photos & Camera, Spotlight, Safari, Siri and upcoming ever exciting Apple products serving millions of queries every day with incredible low latencies, drawing every ounce of compute from our hardware. As part of this group, you will get a chance to bring Intelligence to billions of users across the world. You will have an opportunity to make a difference in life of people. You will have a chance to work on optimizing billions of parameter languge and vision and speech models using state of the art technologies and make it run at scale of Apple.
