As a Data Curation Lead in Global Siri, you will drive and supervise several of the data curation efforts that fuel the pieces in Siri’s technology pipeline. This will include defining data curation specifications for your language, reviewing and ensuring data quality, reporting accuracy metrics, and documenting conventions and processes. You will also lead failure analysis exercises aimed at improving the quality of the end-to-end experience for Siri users in your market.
