Senior Engineering Manager, Incubation Team

Seattle,Washington,United States

Software and Services

The Intelligent System Experience (ISE) Incubation team is looking to hire a senior leader to help the team turn creative ideas into innovative new products and features. We are a diverse team of platform engineers, ML engineers, and designers that take big, fuzzy ideas about what might be possible, and then turn them into concrete prototypes and livable software. This role is best suited for a leader who excels at the intersection of technology, creativity, and user experience. While a solid technical foundation is important, this position does not primarily involve managing heavy machine learning or software engineering tasks. Instead, the emphasis is on guiding a team to generate and prototype innovative ideas, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and iterating on concepts to deliver transformative experiences for Apple users.

Description

We are looking for a leader with a proven track record of taking products from ideation through productization. A successful candidate will be able to live at the intersection of technology and experience. They will need to understand which technologies are worth developing because they could offer powerful new experiences to our users - and then help the team marry the two into a compelling feature. They’ll also need to be able to see what new technologies are required in order to create an innovative new experience for our users, and guide the creation of both. We work across organizational scales, internally with small teams, across our entire team, and across the company. The products we build are part prototype, part proof of concept and part sales pitch, so clear communication, understanding of current platform capabilities, cutting edge ML technology, a design sense, and an ability to advocate for ideas and for the team are all key skills for this role.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years experience leading teams

• Proven track record of leading and growing teams with diverse skillsets

• Experience with Apple platforms - including an understanding of the design paradigms, general technologies & capabilities available.

It’s about shaping the future of Apple’s platforms by understanding user needs, collaborating across teams, and turning visionary concepts into compelling prototypes!

• Bachelor of Computer Science or equivalent skills and work experience

• This role requires a diverse skillset and a track record of leading people and guiding ideas. A background in software engineering fundamentals would be ideal, but if you can show a strong record of leading teams to create new things, we’d love to talk to you.
