**Description**

This is a full time role in our Employee Productivity and Support team to address and support continued growth in APAC and will present the opportunity to gain significant experience in a very large scale environment, while working with local experts to provide the highest level of service expected at Apple.

We are looking for a self-driven individual who can constantly research and suggest latest technologies, independently troubleshoot technical issues, and work with teams of developers, engineering project managers, and test engineers who take pride in building AI solutions.

**Preferred Qualifications**

Hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs) or other generative models, including tasks like prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or applying advanced metrics for analysis.

Familiarity with specific generative model architectures (e.g. Transformer variants, Stable Diffusion, GPT-like models) and their underlying mechanisms (e.g. attention mechanisms).

Understanding of software engineering best practices (e.g., testing, code reviews, modular design) in the context of ML systems.

Comfortable presenting technical findings or research to peers and cross-functional global teams.

Experience with data synthesis, augmentation, or specialised dataset preparation for generative tasks.

Some familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP) for ML workload deployment.

Demonstrated experience with personal, academic, or open-source projects involving Generative AI, showcasing practical application and problem-solving.

**Minimum Qualifications**

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Strong proficiency in languages such as Python or Javascript.

Familiarity with machine learning libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, or Hugging Face.

Solid understanding of neural networks, deep learning, and specifically generative models

Basic knowledge of Natural Language Processing (NLP) or Computer Vision (CV) concepts, depending on the primary modality of the generative models.

Proficient in data manipulation tools such as Pandas, Numpy, and experience with data pre-processing techniques relevant to large and complex datasets.

Experience with Git/GitHub for collaborative development.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail.

Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and contribute effectively in a team environment.
