Job Description:
ML Data Program Manager - MLO, ISE - SCV
JOB SUMMARY
Would you like to contribute to generative AI and transform how people interact with AI technologies? Do you believe Machine
Learning and AI can change the world? We truly believe it can! We are the Machine Learning Operations Data Team, part of
Intelligent System Experience (ISE) group within the software engineering organization at client. We are responsible for
building high-quality ML datasets at scale, used to train ML models that power AI-centric features for many client products
(iPhone, iPad, Mac, client Watch, and even AirPods). Such features as client Intelligence, face recognition of your loved ones
in your Photos app, and input experiences (e.g., autocorrect, next-word prediction, handwriting recognition) are all features
our team has supported.
We are looking for a talented individual to drive Data Programs supporting ML features, in close collaboration with our R&D
partners, and to run the corresponding data projects end-to-end (collection & annotation).
We invite you to join us at this exciting time! Grow fast and positively impact multiple critical features on your first day at client!
KEY QUALIFICATIONS
Exhibits excellent program/project management, communication, interpersonal, analytical, and organizational skills
A talent for creating ML datasets focusing on end-to-end user experience by foreseeing issues, handling edge cases,
and removing bias while ensuring inclusion and fairness
Proficient in problem-solving and critical thinking, with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement
Scripting skills (Python) to automate tasks, compute metrics and explore use of workflows combining ML and human
inputs
Self-starter, able to handle ambiguity, identify risks, troubleshoot, and find the right people and tools to get the job done
Capacity to multitask and manage multiple projects in parallel while meeting deadlines, and maintaining clear and
effective communication with stakeholders
DESCRIPTION
Our MLO Data team focuses on data acquisition, data synthesis, data science, annotation, and data QA. Each year, we power
dozens of features and work closely with ML teams across the Software Organization. client's commitment to deliver
incredible experiences to a global and diverse set of users in full respect of their privacy leads our team to explore innovative
ways of collecting and annotating data.
This role is responsible for overseeing the end-to-end process for our R&D partners machine learning data needs; from
conceptualization to completion, and ensuring that the data delivered to R&D meets client's rigorous quality standards. This
includes:
Collaborate with R&D partners to understand and define their data requirements from inception to delivery
Design and implement ML Data Ops strategies optimized for each feature (collection and annotation), including the
identification and sourcing or creation of necessary tooling, equipment or crowd
Drive enhancements of data operations (increase scalability, diversity and quality, reduce cost and lead time), through
innovative workflows that combine human and machine computation (leveraging capabilities of ML and foundation
models)
Work closely with privacy, legal, procurement, and product security teams to identify and clear options considered for
data operations
Thoroughly scope projects, estimating timelines, cost, and identifying potential challenges in advance
Coordinate data programs across internal data functions (data engineering, QA) and other partners
Establish clear guidelines, and training material
Collaborate with vendors to ensure tasks are calibrated appropriately; track and report on quantity and quality metrics
EDUCATION
Bachelors degree; or equivalent practical experience.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
6+ years of experience in Program/Project Management
