Sonic Summary

info
  • The job involves building frontier foundation models to enhance intelligent experiences at Apple, focusing on training lifecycle and task-specific performance.
  • Candidates should have a PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field, with a minimum of 3 years of experience in deep learning and a publication record in relevant conferences.
  • Proficiency in Python and deep learning toolkits such as JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow is required, along with the ability to collaborate effectively.
  • The role emphasizes solving complex problems in areas like vision-language modeling and image generation, contributing to real-world applications of deep learning.
  • Salary details were not specified, but the position offers opportunities to significantly impact Apple products and user experiences.
We build frontier foundation models that power intelligent experiences at Apple. Our team works across the full training lifecycle: including pre-training foundation models, and developing mid-training approaches that bridge general capability and task-specific performance. What makes our work distinct is that we're engineering models specifically for Apple silicon and optimized for experiences that are private, personal, and deeply integrated into the OS. We're solving frontier problems in reward modeling to resist reward hacking, handling sparse and delayed rewards in agentic settings, and aligning models reliably across the spectrum from open-ended creative tasks to precise, action-taking workflows. If you're drawn to hard problems where the research and the product are inseparable, this is the team

Description


We believe that the most interesting problems in deep learning research arise when we try to apply learning to real-world use cases, and this is also where the most important breakthroughs come from. You will work with a close-knit and fast growing team of world-class engineers and scientists to tackle some of the most challenging problems in foundation models and deep learning, including vision-language modeling, image and video generation, and Building data pipelines and evaluation suites for visual understanding and generation at scale.

Minimum Qualifications


Demonstrated expertise in deep learning with a publication record in relevant conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, COLM, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, KDD, ACL) or a track record in applying deep learning techniques to products Proficient programming skills in Python and one of the deep learning toolkits such as JAX, PyTorch, or Tensorflow Ability to work in a collaborative environment. PhD, or equivalent practical experience, in Computer Science, or related technical field.

Preferred Qualifications


Experience training or adapting vision-language models Experience with image/video generation or editing Post-training, mid-training large language models or multimodal models. Reinforcement learning, on-policy distillation. Further, you will have opportunities to identify and develop novel applications of deep learning in Apple products. You will see your ideas not only published in papers, but also improve the experience of billions of users.
