It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.
We're looking for a strong Engineering Program Manager to drive Performance and Reliability for the next generation of Siri, Apple's on-device conversational AI. This role sits at the intersection of latency engineering, reliability metrics, and release quality across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. You will partner with engineering, QE, and data science teams to ensure Siri responds fast, works consistently, and gets measurably better every build.
You will coordinate and drive critical projects within the performance and reliability program for Siri AI across active development and release branches. This includes owning the cadence of performance reviews, regression triage, and executive reporting for latency and reliability.
3 years driving performance, reliability, or quality programs for large-scale software.
Experience with performance programs including requirements and coverage (latency, reliability, telemetry, test infrastructure).
Direct experience with performance engineering programs in ML, conversational AI, or on-device inference systems.
Familiarity with latency instrumentation, tracing, and profiling concepts.
Detailed understanding of build and release processes and regression triage workflows for sophisticated software.
Strong analytical thinking, with fluency in dashboards and telemetry tools, and ability to reason over latency distributions, regression trends, build-over-build charts.
5+ years of experience in project or program management.
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
Excellent project management skills including structuring programs with multiple interdependent workstreams.
Ability to read and reason about data and communicate findings clearly to both engineers and executives.
Ability to independently draft and present status, risk assessments, and executive briefings.
Strong ability to facilitate technical reviews with senior engineering leaders.
Strong leadership skills, including mentoring, team-building, and conflict resolution.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, including negotiation, presentation, and influence.
We’re a diverse collective of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. And the same innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. This is where your work can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own.
