The Siri Platform team is responsible for the technology which empowers 1st and 3rd party developers to create amazing voice-enabled products.

We're looking for a technical product manager to support the platform that powers Siri experiences for hundreds of millions of customers around the world, across consumer products like iPhone, Apple Watch, HomePod and more.

You are passionate about architecting a platform and building API's and SDK's for 1st and 3rd party developers that scale and are measurable. You also love rolling up your sleeves and getting into the weeds with engineering. You have a consistent track record of successfully leading large, highly complex, cross-functional programs. You're willing to wear any hat necessary and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You understand that software is a collaborative process and enjoy debating ideas to ultimately build the best experience possible.

As a part of our team, you'd be responsible for building the foundation that drives critical improvements to our user experience. You will help make Siri more conversational, smarter, and faster. You'll be responsible for coordinating and managing the evolution of our developer platform. You will be pushing the developer teams to make the right technical decisions by setting the goals and vision for the platform, by being data-driven and customer-focused. Our platform powers Siri and you'll work closely with our natural language processing teams, machine learning teams, knowledge teams, and domain teams to build the best assistant on the planet. You will also work to promote adoption of new platform features both internally and externally.
