Apple Proactive Intelligence Applied Research Scientist — Generative AI 
United States, California, Cupertino 
338778016

06.06.2024
Description
As an Applied Research Scientist on our team, you will design and implement ML algorithms that process data in different Apple products. You will train Generative AI models and agent behaviors using deep reinforcement learning to solve hard problems/tasks. Where necessary, you will also work on integrating ML/RL frameworks into our products to train large-scale agents and leverage cloud services to enable scalable and distributed training/simulation of agent behaviors. You will communicate advanced ideas to a focused team of researchers in the spirit of developing innovative tools and metrics that change the way we look at problems. You will work closely with other cross-functional teams to align messaging, contribute to roadmaps and contribute software back into different repos for proper integration with core systems. You will write clean, maintainable and production code with appropriate documentation and tests. You will contribute to architecture decisions, design reviews and peer code reviews.
