Apple's intelligent systems generate rich, multi-modal data from devices, sensors, software, and services. We're looking for a data scientist who can bring clarity to this complexity - someone who can analyze diverse datasets, surface meaningful insights, and design intuitive tools that help teams understand and improve the intelligence behind Apple products.

You'll work across the full data lifecycle: discovering signals in large-scale distributed logs, building search and retrieval mechanisms to make data accessible, and crafting interactive visualizations and evaluations that guide product direction and system performance.

Description

Our team works at the intersection of hardware, software, and intelligence. We design the systems, infrastructure, and tools that enable Apple's next generation of AI-driven experiences - from on-device middleware and distributed inference platforms to large-scale data pipelines, interactive analytics, and advanced developer tooling. We collaborate closely with hardware, robotics, ML, design, and platform teams to build end-to-end solutions that are performant, intuitive, and deeply integrated into Apple's ecosystem. The work is hands-on, highly cross-disciplinary, and central to shaping how Apple's intelligent systems evolve.","responsibilities":"Explore, analyze, and model large volumes of multi-modal data from devices and cloud systems to identify trends, correlations, and anomalies
