Machine Learning Systems Engineer, Siri Agent Modeling
As a Machine Learning Systems Engineer, you will work closely with Siri modeling teams and other cross-functional teams to optimize model training and inference. You will be working across the ML stack at Apple, finding opportunities to make models performant, train quicker, and run faster on Apple's custom Apple Silicon. You will be joining a team that spans data, modeling, evaluation, deployment and working with engineers across ML infrastructure, inference, and framework teams. You will write production-level code to train and deploy models that will impact Apple's customers and enrich their lives. You are an ideal candidate if you: Are not afraid of CUDA OOM or NCCL errors
