Latin America AIML Data Scientist (Decision Intelligence)

Imagine what you could do here. The people here at Apple don’t just create products — they create the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it! Apple's ALAC Decision Intelligence (DI) team is looking for a talented individual who is passionate about crafting, implementing, and operating analytical solutions that have a direct and measurable impact on Apple Sales and its customers. As an ALAC DI Data Scientist, you will employ predictive modeling, data visualization, and statistical analysis techniques to build end-to-end solutions for internal stakeholders, leveraging sales performance data, market data, programs, external data, and more. This role will operate in both capacities — augmenting existing data solutions as well as innovating and trailblazing data science projects, crafting analytic experiences that simplify data into insights and catalyze decision-making. Analytics is a team sport and in your role, you will be key in leading and influencing teams on the translation of business problems and questions into data science models.

Description

Insight Pipeline & ML Development
- Build and scale the automated insight pipeline that powers the ALAC sales organization — developing ML models that detect opportunities, diagnose performance issues, and recommend actions
- Lead end-to-end insight development: from data preparation and statistical analysis to LLM prompt engineering that translates findings into sales-ready insights
- Design and deploy ML models for forecasting, anomaly detection, attribution modeling, and causal inference — either building custom solutions or adapting Apple's existing ML services

GENAI & Agent Integration
- Embed insights into AI agents, dashboards, and GenAI-powered tools used by sales teams
- Build RCA and recommendation engines that enhance summarization and chatbot capabilities
- Analyze agent interactions and implement LLM evaluation pipelines to measure factual accuracy, latency, and user satisfaction

Experimentation & Scaling
- Support experimentation and A/B testing for new insight types and interaction methods
- Partner with AI engineers and PMs to scale features across regions and tools
- Influence upstream data model design, drive KPI definitions, and develop your own data solutions as needed

Translation & Stakeholder Partnership
- Act as a data translator, bridging the gap in expertise between technical teams — data analysts, data engineers, software developers — and business stakeholders, with the ability to speak the language of both
