Would you like to play a part in building the next generation of generative AI applications at Apple? WeÂre looking for ML Researchers, ML Data Scientists, and ML Engineers to work on ambitious projects that will impact the future of Apple, our products, and the broader world. This role is directed at assessing, quantifying, and improving the safety and inclusivity of AppleÂs generative-AI powered features and products.
In this role youÂll have the opportunity to tackle innovative problems in machine learning, particularly focused on large language models for text generation, diffusion models for image generation, and mixed model systems for multimodal applications. As a member of the Apple HCMI/Responsible AI group, you will be working on Apple's generative models that will power a wide array of new features, as well as longer term research in the generative AI space. Our team is currently interested in large generative models for vision and language, with particular interest on safety, robustness, and uncertainty in models.
Description
Description
Apple Intelligence is powered by high quality, detailed annotations in the specialized domains of linguistics and computer vision. This role is instrumental in coordinating and documenting data authoring, annotation, and grading projects with human authors/annotators (Âred teamersÂ), data scientists, and machine learning engineers. Responsibilities include:
- Developing red teaming and grading project strategies, interfaces, and guidelines in consultation with data scientists and product engineering teams
- Relaying and interpreting project guidelines and instructions for red teamers
- Prioritizing and scheduling projects to align with organizational goals and timelines
- Serving as an interface for feedback and questions from red teamers back to data scientists, project managers, and product development engineers
- Monitoring and managing aggregate and individual red teamer performance metrics (accuracy, throughput, etc.) while providing feedback and guidance for improvement
- Working with data scientists and red teaming engineers to distill findings into recommendations for product engineering teams and safety policy development
- Researching, developing, and applying conventional and ML-based enhancements to red teaming and grading methodologies to improve efficiency and quality
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
 Prior experience in linguistic and/or computer vision annotation tasks including: Named-entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, text parsing (constituency, dependency, or application-specific), image scene classification, image segmentation, 3D object reconstruction, and image captioning.
 Scripting skills and spreadsheet proficiency as applied to data management; basic Python, common command line tools, and spreadsheet skills for data aggregation and statistics calculations
 Project management expertise: Ability to collaborate with team members to prioritize competing projects, set and maintain a schedule for milestones and project completions, communicate with all levels of engineers, in-house annotators, and remote/crowd-workers
 Work with highly-sensitive content with exposure to offensive and controversial content

Preferred Qualifications
 MS, or PhD in Linguistics, Computer Vision, or a similar field with a strong basis in scientific data collection; and 2+ years experience as an annotator/red teamer, annotation/red teaming project lead/manager, or ontologist
 Prior teaching experience
 Prior scientific research and publication experience
 Strong understanding of English language (linguistics, syntax, grammar) and its applications to Natural Language Processing
 Experience working on crowd-based annotation and/or grading projects
 Experience developing, implementing, and communicating a sophisticated ontology or taxonomy system
 Experience working with generative models (LLMs, diffusion models, etc) for evaluation, product development, and/or as a work productivity aide, and up-to-date knowledge of the kinds of issues that can occur
 Curiosity about fairness and bias in generative AI systems, and a strong desire to help make the technology more equitable
 Curiosity about tech and the way in which things can go wrong
