Job description

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. A track record of influencing outcomes across organizational boundaries, delivering work that other teams’ features depend on. Experience building datasets and measurement systems, and using them to make quality tradeoffs defensible. Experience shipping production Swift, including API design, performance and memory budgets. Experience spanning both offline evaluation and production inference paths. Background in health, fitness, or another domain where user trust and data sensitivity shape the design. Experience building a team and its engineering practices from the ground up. Ability to work with technology partners at all levels of the stack.
