## Job description

Apple’s Platform Acceleration & Compute Efficiency (PACE) is a high-leverage team operating at the critical intersection of our ML organizations, underlying compute infrastructure, and core platform tooling. Our mission is to empower Apple’s software engineering teams with efficient, scalable compute. By driving out operational friction and optimizing the broader machine learning ecosystem, we directly accelerate the pace of development across the company.

We are seeking a founding Operations Lead with a passion for ML compute lifecycle management to build and own our governance and operations function. This is a ground-up opportunity to develop the roadmap and build a world-class, high level operations team. You will partner closely with tools and analytics leads to define the governance systems, telemetry frameworks, utilization dashboards, and analytical models that give PACE and Apple's ML leadership a clear, continuously updated picture of how compute is being used.

Success for this role means zero project slips due to process, platform, or mis-prioritization. Mastery of this role means establishing and tracking key productivity metrics and proactively solving problems to keep those metrics consistently high. Your work will power core ML analytics both for internal development and inference serving. Most operations roles involve endless runbooks. This role is for someone who is also an engineer and artist at heart.

Your operations work will empower a high-leverage team to drive decisions that have a significant impact on Apple’s financial results.
