Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us strengthening each other’s ideas. That happens because every one of us believes that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better! Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. In the Siri and Information Intelligence organization, we work hard to bring the best user experiences powered by Apple Intelligence. One central part of the user experience is to understand the personal context: this means the experiences understand the user deeply (their contents, their behaviors, their preferences, etc.) and use the deep understanding to help users accomplish things in an intuitive, intelligent, and private manner. Create ground-breaking technology to enable Search for personal data on all devices where Siri is available. You would lead the team responsible for delivering personal search on Siri.
