Principle Product Manager, Search Platform

Build the future of Apple"s search platform at the core of Apple"s AI strategy. Apple"s Search Platform powers how Apple"s AI services find, retrieve, and ground answers for over a billion users. As the systems behind these experiences evolve from traditional search to retrieval-augmented generation and large language model grounding; this role sits at the center of that transformation. You will own the product strategy for the search and grounding infrastructure that underpins Apple"s AI products, working with world-class engineering and ML teams to define what these systems do, how they scale, and where they go next.\\n

This is a high-autonomy leadership role. You will set the multi-year roadmap for search platform capabilities, drive zero-to-one product launches, and represent the team across Apple and with external partners.
