Come join the Wallet Intelligence and Machine Learning team, where we help secure users' digital lives across Apple's devices without sacrificing privacy. Machine Learning Engineers here build analytical solutions and think deeply about where they fit into a larger system, staying ahead of fraud and applying the best privacy-preserving and fraud-prevention methods available to make Apple products, and especially Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, the safest platform people can use.\nThe On Device Insights team at Apple develops machine learning models that run directly on users' devices to protect them from fraud, holding themselves to an exceptionally high bar for privacy. As part of the Wallet Intelligence and Machine Learning team, you will help secure users' digital lives across Apple's devices - including Apple Pay and Apple Wallet - without sacrificing privacy. This is a mission-driven team that thrives on hard problems, healthy skepticism, and open collaboration.\nDescription\nWe are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help develop and launch on-device technologies that keep our users safe, working closely with engineering, security, program management, and business partners.\nOur work is applied and pragmatic by necessity. Models must run in real time and in the background on the device without slowing down something as simple as an in-app purchase, which means designing within real constraints like model size, inference budgets, and memory. Because we often need to anticipate fraud rather than react to each new pattern as it appears, we have to be proactive and think ahead. This role is a chance to take ownership of a problem area, build a system-wide understanding of where our models fit, and apply your expertise in machine learning in an innovative and fast-moving environment.\nIf you're energized by ambiguity, motivated by a meaningful mission, and the kind of person who digs beneath the surface and questions your own assumptions before forming a recommendation, we'd love to hear from you.\nMinimum Qualifications\nExperience with machine learning methods such as classification, clustering, and anomaly detection.\nStrong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, Scala, or Java.\nExperience processing and analyzing data at scale using distributed data or compute frameworks.\nAbility to communicate the results of analysis clearly and succinctly to a range of audiences.\nExperience delivering results on ambiguous, loosely defined problems, working with others.\nRigorous analytical thinking, including the ability to question assumptions, reason through a problem, and justify a recommendation with sound evidence.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience deploying machine learning in resource-constrained or real-time environments, such as on-device deployment, model compression, or optimizing for inference budgets.\nExperience with distributed data and compute frameworks such as Spark, Ray, or Daft.\nFamiliarity with privacy-preserving machine learning techniques.\nBackground in fraud detection, risk modeling, or security-focused machine learning.\nFamiliarity with iOS development.\nWe're open to a range of specializations and are excited by candidates who bring a differentiating strength to the team, whether that's a research background, deep systems thinking, or expertise we don't yet have. Tell us what you'd add.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3488,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Laptops","Smartwatches & Fitness Trackers","Tablets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T05:56:30Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-11T22:29:36Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-11-12T04:23:18Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 6,350 · green card filings: 39","filings_12m":6350,"filings_prev_12m":6528,"green_card_filings_12m":39,"median_offered_wage_usd":177313,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2959}],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.896,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":117,"expected_fill_days":148,"reasons":["conf:0","urgency","velocity","win:late","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T12:45:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26413,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":12},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=12"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapple-machine-learning-engineer-wallet-intelligence-and-machine-learning-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4004170}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"apple.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4004170},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
