[CPM-SPIRE-L] Job opening in Apple Zurich in information retrieval

[Mathieu Raffinot]

Dear Folks,

my team at Apple has a job opening on Zurich in information retrieval, mainly on the subject of web indexing, which may be of interest to someone in the community. 
 
The position is infrastructure-oriented for a search platform that serves billions of queries every month.  The job consists in improving/configuring/expanding 
this platform with all possible techniques according to requests from other teams. 

To be clear, though, and not to waste anyone's time or cause disappointment, don't apply if 
- you don't believe that deeplearning is profoundly changing text search
- you know nothing about NLP
- you're not familiar with ML embedding techniques for search
- you don't know what BERT or a Transformer is
- you don't know what a Mapreduce is
- you don't know what a Varuint is
- you're not practice-oriented
- you don't know how to code: all Apple engineers code and take part in code reviews, whatever their level. No one do do it for you. 
- you've never handled web-based data
- you're not ready for intensive work 
- you don't know how to adapt to a changing environment 
- if your ego is too large to accept that your favorite techniques fail miserably, because between academic papers and reality there's often a gulf into which it's easy to fall

but if you're not in one of these cases and you're looking for a challenging, dynamic environment, the job is very interesting. Part of the team speaks French, Russian and Italian on the margin, but the working language is English.
