Indexed description

We're a small team at Apple betting on what comes next. We believe AI will fundamentally change how people interact with their devices - and we're looking for software engineers who want to build that future.

We can't say much about what we're building for our customers. What we can say: the problems are genuinely new and the potential reach is enormous.

Beyond the work, we're a collaborative, humble, and curious group that loves learning from each other and building together.

Description

You'll work alongside a tight group of engineers, designers, and researchers to bring AI features from early prototype to product. This is 0-to-1 work - from a rough idea on a whiteboard to software running on real devices. You'll have a lot of autonomy in how you get there.

Responsibilities:

  • Building AI-powered experiences - whether that's crafting new iOS interactions, designing agentic systems that orchestrate tools under the hood, or both

  • Prototyping rapidly to explore what works - then making it real

  • Partnering with Design, ML, and AI researchers to shape features and translate cutting-edge models into tangible experiences - not just implement specs

  • Driving architecture decisions and raising the quality bar through technical leadership

  • Investing in the quality and reliability of what you ship - through testing, tooling, and infrastructure that gives the team confidence

    Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep experience in one or more iOS/macOS domains: system services, UI frameworks, concurrent application architecture, or performance optimization

  • You've wired together LLM-powered systems yourself - agents, tool orchestration, prompt engineering - and you have opinions about what worked and what didn't

  • Close to the frontier. You're the person your team comes to when a new model drops or a new technique emerges

  • A sharp eye for detail. You notice what's off and you know when it's right

  • A point of view on where human-AI interaction is headed - and the instinct to know what it should feel like when it gets there

    Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of mobile or application development experience, strong CS fundamentals, iOS and Swift experience is a plus - but if you're strong in another platform, you'll ramp quickly here

  • You've shipped software that people relied on, and you learned something from every hard call along the way

  • You're someone who unblocks yourself. When the path isn't clear, you figure it out - whether that means reading the source, building a prototype, or pulling in the right people

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by problems that don't have an obvious answer yet

  • You work well across teams and build trust with partners in design and engineering

  • You make the people around you better - through mentoring, shaping technical direction, and the way you approach hard problems

  • You've already brought AI into how you write code - and you're always looking for the next way to use it

  • B.S. Computer Science or equivalent experience required
