Description
As a Software Triage Engineer on the Siri Attention and Invocation team, you will serve as the first line of defense for Siri's conversational quality. You will investigate complex software issues that impact how users naturally interact with Siri, analyzing issues across multiple software stacks, machine learning models, and device integrations.
Your role combines technical detective work with systematic problem-solving. You'll analyze system logs to understand issues, identify root causes of failures, and determine whether problems stem from software bugs, model performance, or integration issues. Beyond immediate triage, you will develop automation tools to streamline future investigations and have the opportunity to leverage generative AI technology to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your triage process.
This position requires someone who thrives on solving puzzles and has genuine curiosity about how complex AI systems work in practice. Your work will directly impact the reliability and user experience of Siri across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro.
