About The Position

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Software Engineer to help build
the foundation of Apple’s next-generation Generative AI platform. This role
blends deep systems thinking, scalable backend development, and cutting-edge
GenAI technologies such as Agentic frameworks and Retrieval-Augmented Generation
(RAG). You will design and implement large-scale, secure, and highly available
systems, while collaborating across teams to drive the future of intelligent
experiences. If you’re excited about building production-grade GenAI
infrastructure and solving hard distributed systems problems, this is your
opportunity to make a lasting impact at scale.

DESCRIPTION

An ideal candidate should be a strong programmer and a creative problem solver
who thrives in a fast-paced environment, working across teams and organizations.
You enjoy learning new technologies and have deep interest in either
client/systems software design and programming or server side distributed system
software development. You take responsibility; you feel a personal stake in the
product you ship and for the end-user of it; you communicate responsibilities
and scope clearly.

• Experience with implementation of complex agentic systems using LangGraph, ADK, Claude Code, or similar frameworks
• Experience working and building MCP servers, extensive experience with prompt engineering and evaluations
• Experience in designing scalable, highly available distributed systems which can handle high data volumes

Nice To Haves

• Strong experience working with Gen Ai based systems Agentic frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, ADK, AutoGPT) and RAG (Embedding, Chunking, Search).
• Experience working with RAG Data ingestion pipelines, Vector DB and data platforms A2A (Agent-to-Agent): Experience building autonomous agent ecosystems where agents negotiate, share context, and delegate tasks via standardized protocols.
• Deep understanding of REST, GraphQL and gRPC APIs, authentication (OAuth, API keys), and distributed systems
• Strong grasp of software design principles (SOLID, DRY) and testing frameworks.
• Security: Knowledge of "Prompt Injection”/ Guardrail defense and secure context handling (PII redaction)
