We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer, ML Inference, to join Apple Maps. You will optimize, and scale machine learning models, focusing on large language models, for high-performance, production-scale inference. Collaborate with data scientists, researchers, and infrastructure teams to ensure efficient GPU-optimized deployment, handling tens of billions of daily requests. We value a culture of speed and agility—"iterate quickly, improve continuously"—where rapid iteration, learning from failures, and constant refinement are at the core of how we operate. In this environment, you will develop and deploy solutions swiftly, learn from each iteration, and constantly refine your approach to deliver better results. As a self-driven, results-oriented individual with a strong work ethic, you will play a key role in guiding the technical direction of the ML Platform, solving complex problems, and leading by example. You’ll bring leadership to the team through both mentorship and hands-on contributions, helping drive innovations in model optimization and performance tuning.
