Play a part in the next revolution in human- computer interaction. Collaborate with software engineers as well as machine learning engineers/ scientists in several technical areas spanning the entire range of Siri’s capabilities (speech recognition, natural language understanding, dialogue management). Have the opportunity to innovate, create groundbreaking technology, build prototypes of user-facing features and magical experiences, and work with a cross-functional team to ship these magical experiences to millions of users.
The Siri Team is looking for someone with a combination of strong programming skills and a creative, user-focused mindset. This role would take Siri to the next level of intelligence and accuracy by using advanced statistical techniques to improve the quality of customer features. This involves working on core machine learning algorithms and systems that are part of Siri’s ability to understand and respond to requests. You should be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment with rapidly-changing priorities and technology stacks. A thirst for designing new technology with a user-first mindset is essential.
Specific responsibilities include:
* Develop Siri features end-to-end, including proactively collaborating with XF teams as needed for progression.
* Work with multiple teams across the organization to gain a deep understanding of the Siri architecture.
* Develop systems that are highly reliable, scalable, but surprisingly easy to maintain.
* Be actively involved in collaborating on product direction, giving feedback in the right way to the team, and bringing new issues up in a safe way for team discussion.
