Sr. Engineering Program Manager, ML Compute Infrastructure, Apple Services Engineering

Seattle, Washington, United States Software and Services

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.

It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.

The ASE - AI Infrastructure team at Apple is building the next generation of Machine Learning models and we are looking for people like you to come build Apple Intelligence with us! The AI Infrastructure EPM team in the organization is seeking a Senior Engineering Program Manager for its ML Compute Platform. This platform provides services to all internal Apple developers focused on providing efficient and scalable compute and processing for machine learning lifecycle from model experimentation to deployment for the features across the entire Apple consumer ecosystem.

We’re looking for someone with passion in this space and an experience building large-scale infrastructure for cloud platforms with a strong knowledge of ML workflow. You will partner with the engineering teams and other product/program managers across the org to drive and influence our compute roadmap for improving engineering efficiencies, reducing cost, and ensuring resiliency for Apple's ML use cases. You will also have the opportunity to be the leader with vision, identifying new technologies for adoption and be the central PM voice for interactions with public cloud providers, such as AWS and GCP, as well as internal Apple Cloud.

Come, join us and build the new frontier technologies that support Apple Intelligence!

• As a key EPM of the AIML team, you will be responsible for establishing cross-functional partnerships with all Apple’s ML stakeholders understanding their use cases and improve the ease of use of the compute services.
• You will collaborate with the Apple’s AIML engineering teams to define a partnership strategy across the entire ML ecosystem including 3rd party public cloud, Apple’s internal cloud, silicon vendors, and OSS providers to enable Apple Intelligence.
• Develop and execute capacity forecasting models to ensure optimal compute resource availability for current and future ML workloads.
• Analyze and track ML compute usage to identify opportunities for cost savings without compromising performance. Propose and implement cost-optimization strategies.
• Provide regular reports to senior leadership on ML compute capacity, performance trends, and cost management efforts. Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• We work with best in class engineering teams and developers across Apple to design the most efficient technologies to accelerate the ML lifecycle. You will be the trusted advisor to our customers to deeply understand their needs and help deliver low cost, high performance solutions that meet their use cases and business outcomes.
• Translate the product requirements to technical use cases helping to see around corners enabling risk mitigation for engineering execution through creating partnership roadmap for delivery.
• You will define new computing modalities using resources native to the cloud and take that vision to market in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.

• 3+ years of Product and/or technical program management experience covering some or as many of the following areas as possible: distributed computing, large scale cloud infrastructure, GPU/TPU usage for ML training, software and computing architectures, container stack, and networking
• Experience in working with large scale GPU based AI applications, like Natural Language Processing and Recommendation, for training and inference or direct experience in building or managing cloud…
