Machine Learning Engineer - Agentic AI
Job Description
Build production-ready agentic AI systems that combine large language models with tools and data to deliver multi-step workflows.
Responsibilities
- Design and build agentic workflows that integrate models, tools, and data to execute multi-step tasks in production.
- Define system behaviors for planning, tool use, structured outputs, and failure handling.
- Create infrastructure to evaluate and improve agentic system performance across quality, reliability, and cost.
- Develop monitoring and observability to track and understand agent behavior in production.
- Integrate LLMs with internal and external tools to retrieve context, call APIs, and execute actions end-to-end.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn product requirements into scalable agentic systems and improve outcomes through iteration and evaluation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree (minimum requirement).
- Proven knowledge of cutting-edge agentic systems.
- Demonstrated experience designing and shipping agentic systems in production environments.
- Strong proficiency with LLM-assisted coding, including using AI tools to design, implement, and iterate on complex systems.
- Strong system design experience, including defining and evolving architecture for complex, multi-component systems.
- Experience taking products from concept to launch, including delivering user-facing applications at scale or in real-world environments.
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and dental coverage.
- Retirement benefits.
- Discounted products and free services.
- Education reimbursement for certain educational expenses, including tuition, for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple.
- Discretionary bonuses or commission payments and relocation (eligibility subject to requirements).

Pay
- Base pay range: USD 129,300 - 194,700 per year.
Role focus
- Design and implement LLM-based agentic systems beyond traditional machine learning pipelines.
- Make system design tradeoffs across latency, cost, accuracy, and controllability.
- Evaluate design approaches such as deterministic pipelines versus adaptive, LLM-driven methods within agentic system design.
