About The Position

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values
that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple
Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas
stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make
something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.
It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation
that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the
best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add
something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly
blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the
things we love in ways never before possible — all while staying connected to
the people around us. The Systems Frameworks team within Apple’s Vision Products
Group (VPG) is seeking a passionate software engineer to assist in the
implementation of a foundational component for the next generation of algorithms
that power the operating system. In this role, you will collaborate with both
algorithm and low-level system framework teams to develop systems that support a
diverse range of use cases in a performant and memory-efficient manner.

DESCRIPTION

As a member of the systems framework team, you’d be expected to contribute to
the architecture and implementation of key pieces of foundational system
frameworks. The work includes investigating and understanding existing
frameworks and how they function and interact with the rest of the system
building prototypes to prove out that certain concepts work, creating proposals
and getting buy-in from cross-functional partners and leaders, and driving
high-quality performant implementation of the shipping product. What makes a
person successful in this role is a curiosity to understand what goes on in
detail, ability to debug complex problems, and being able to unblock themselves
when working in an environment with many moving pieces at the same time.
