Engineering Manager, Machine Learning Platform Technologies

teams across Apple to align infrastructure investment with Apples most strategic AI and search initiatives. Apples web crawl infrastructure is a mission-critical distributed platform that continuously fetches, renders, and extracts structured knowledge from billions of web pages directly powering Siri, Apple Intelligence, Spotlight & Safari. As Engineering Manager for this team, you will lead a group of high performing distributed systems engineers building and operating one of Apples most complex and consequential data collection platforms. This is a role for a technically deep manager who can hold the architectural vision for a multi-service pipeline, grow a high-performing team, and partner with downstream product and ML teams to translate real-world knowledge requirements into engineering reality. You will be responsible for building technical roadmap balancing reliability improvements, feature velocity, and platform scalability. You should be equally, comfortable in a production

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and theres no telling what you could accomplish. At Apple, the information powering Siri, Spotlight, Apple Maps, and Apples foundation models doesnt appear by magic, it is harvested continuously from the live web by one of the most demanding distributed crawl platforms in the industry. As Engineering Manager for the Crawl Infrastructure team, you will lead the people and systems responsible for operating a web crawl at petabyte scale and billions of operations per day, feeding the intelligence layer behind Apples most-used products and the foundation models at the core of Apple Intelligence. This role is for a manager who is technically deep, operationally rigorous, and energized by the challenge of scaling complex distributed systems while growing the engineers around them. You will partner closely with
