About this role
Employer-provided description, formatted for easier reading.
Imagine what you could do here at Apple. Innovation runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts, and the diversity of people and ideas makes it possible. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
The Apple Watch Software team is looking for an exceptionally dedicated software engineering manager to lead a new team focused on the intelligence infrastructure behind Apple's fitness experiences. This team builds the datasets, evaluation pipelines, prompts, and tooling that turn a promising model capability into something we are proud to ship.
In addition to building infrastructure, the team partners with the other fitness teams to bring unified intelligence capabilities to features across Apple Watch and iPhone.
This role involves shipping real features alongside partner teams, mentoring engineers, growing the team by hiring, and establishing new team practices in the domain. It requires a passion for iteration as the space continues to evolve. We value communication skills, integrity, and creativity, and aspire to build diverse, balanced and dynamic teams.
In this role your primary responsibility will be to manage and support a small team of deeply technical engineers working at the intersection of applied AI and fitness. Alongside the offline pipelines and evaluation harnesses, your engineers write production Swift that ships in the OS and runs both on device and in server-side environments.
The team collaborates closely with the Activity, Workout, and Fitness+ engineering teams, as well as with Siri and platform intelligence teams across Apple, and develops and maintains the tools and harnesses that help engineers across the organization build and evaluate intelligence-backed features.
8+ years industry experience. 3+ years experience leading a technical team and collaborating across organizational boundaries, or demonstrated readiness through sustained technical leadership of a team. Deep technical understanding and hands-on experience with software development and lifecycle management.
Experience shipping user-facing features built on large language models, carried through the iteration required to reach production quality. Hands-on experience with evaluation methodology, prompt development and tuning, and building the tooling and harnesses that make that work repeatable. Strong product sense and the ability to balance technical feasibility with user experience.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
