About The Position

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 iOS 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. 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.

Requirements

• Strong grasp of Computer Science fundamentals - BS Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of iOS development experience or equivalent product or systems engineering experience
• Practical knowledge of how LLM-powered systems work, including prompt engineering and agent frameworks
• Experience with coding agents
• Curiosity about new technologies, flexibility, and openness to ambiguity

Nice To Haves

• Experience building LLM/Agentic systems
• Understanding of how to leverage coding agents effectively and translate that experience into insights
• Track record of working cross-functionally and building strong partnerships amongst teams and individuals

Responsibilities

• Implementation and optimization of agentic systems that manage context and orchestrate tools
• Partner with ML and AI researchers to translate cutting-edge models into tangible features
• Prototyping ideas to support feature definition and iteration
• Clearly communicate technical concepts to cross functional partners
• Collaboration on architecture discussions and code review
