Internship - Software Engineer

Privacy is a fundamental human right. At Apple, it’s also one of our core values. We design Apple products to protect your privacy and give you control over your information. It’s not always easy. But that’s the kind of innovation we believe in. If you are the type of person that feels a personal stake in protecting the privacy of users, join our Privacy Preserving Machine Learning team. You will play a meaningful role in improving user privacy by building frameworks and algorithms using groundbreaking technology at every level of the technical stack. You will help product and infrastructure teams to ensure user data privacy is a core component in every feature that we ship.

Description

You will design and implement features on a privacy-preserving platform that protects the privacy of hundreds of millions of devices. You will use your software engineering skills to build modular and well-tested code to prototype cutting-edge privacy-preserving algorithms. You will work with IETF working groups and the research community to prove the robustness of your implementation. You will benchmark your solution to show efficiency and scalability. Embedding with the core team, you’ll work with other software/ML engineers and researchers. You will review designs and code by others and provide constructive feedback while continuously learning from colleagues.
