The T&S Network estimates this role to be P3, Senior. The typical base salary for that level in Safety Engineering & Data Science is $200k to $280k at an employer this size. Key skills at this level: owns a detection system end to end, including its drift and its retraining, designs for adversarial pressure rather than for a static distribution, and sets evaluation methodology others in the company adopt.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: asks for 4+ years.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from Apple's posting.
Responsible AI and safety work for Apple's generative AI products across iPhone, iPad, Mac and other devices. The team shapes safety policy and safeguards with product, engineering, legal and regulatory partners, and builds the evaluations that measure how those features perform for users.
What you'd do
- Shape safety policies for generative AI features alongside leadership, design, engineering, legal and regulatory stakeholders.
- Collaborate with ML researchers, software engineers and design teams on safeguards for Apple products.
- Build safety evaluation datasets through data sampling, creation and curation.
- Label evaluation data in detail and carefully use automated grading to judge how features perform.
- Analyze what evaluation results mean for the user experience.
What it asks for
- 3+ years of machine learning work, including generative models (Transformers, LLMs, VLMs), NLP or computer vision.
- 4+ years of research or product deployment in responsible AI, with publications in top ML venues such as ACL, CVPR, NeurIPS or ICML.
- Strong grounding in LLMs, foundation models and diffusion models.
- Experience using generative models for evaluation or product development, with current knowledge of common failures.
- A PhD, MS or BS in computer science, machine learning or a related field, or an equivalent background gained another way.
Our best summary of the posting, and it can be wrong. The employer's posting is what counts: read it in full on Apple before you apply. If we got something wrong, report this listing.
