At Apple, new ideas have a way of quickly becoming outstanding products, services, and customer experiences. Bring passion and dedication to your career, and there's no telling what you could accomplish! The people here at Apple don’t just build products — they create the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. Join the Applied Data Science Program (ADSP) and make a positive impact on one of the most influential technology leaders in the industry. You’ll be tasked with building sophisticated, scalable and robust architecture, tools, data products, and critical data pipelines that are optimized for rapid business intelligence, data analysis, and data science. You will work with teams across Apple, using data analysis and predictive modeling techniques, to define, build, deploy, and maintain end-to-end operational solutions that have a direct and measurable impact to the company and our customers.
