Apple is seeking programmers with psychology and counseling backgrounds to make Siri a better emotional assistant after recognizing that people frequently talk to Siri about their problems.
The position, “Siri Software Engineer, Health and Wellness (https://jobs.apple.com/us/search#&ss=health&t=0&so=&lo=0*USA&pN=0&openJobId=56398598),” is currently posted on Apple’s job board. Apple encourages interested applicants to join the Siri team and “Play a part in the next revolution in human-computer interaction.”
The job doesn’t just require computer science and programming skills, it also asks that candidates have a background in counseling or psychology.*
