About The Position

Creator Studio is bringing agentic intelligence to Apple's professional creative applications — helping people accomplish sophisticated creative work in concert with deep machine intelligence, with their own vision always in the lead. The work has broad and meaningful impact: what we build lifts a whole family of professional creative apps at once. We're an established team that is growing, and we're looking for passionate and skilled engineers who want to do the best work of their careers on a highly visible, highly impactful product. You'll go beyond code to shape the experience itself, working alongside human interface designers, quality teams, the teams behind our creative apps, and cross-functional engineering.

The Creator Studio team is seeking a Software Engineer to help design and build the features that bring agentic intelligence to our creative applications. You'll turn frontier AI capabilities into real product: the agent tooling, app integrations, and experiences that complement people's creative intent and vision. The best creative tools make a person more capable, not less involved; they are a lever for creators to iterate faster, explore further, and realize their ideas. We are building assistance that enhances what people can already do and helps them reach their potential. Getting that balance right is a product problem as much as an engineering one, and it is at the heart of this role.

Requirements

• 2+ years developing and shipping production-quality code, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• Code is reliable, maintainable, and well-tested.
• Proficiency in a modern programming language (Swift, Objective-C, or similar).
• Willingness to work across the app stack.
• A strong product sense and curiosity about creative workflows.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to communicate clearly across disciplines.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent depth through professional experience.

Nice To Haves

• Deep, hands-on experience as a professional or power user of creative tools — DAWs, NLEs, image editors, office productivity apps, or design suites.
• Understanding of creative workflows and what helps a creator.
• Background that blends technical skill with creative-domain expertise.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or building agent harnesses.
• Experience with Swift and Apple platforms (iOS/macOS), including system frameworks and performant, correct, concurrent code.

Responsibilities

• Design and build features that bring agentic intelligence to creative applications.
• Turn frontier AI capabilities into real product.
• Develop agent tooling, app integrations, and experiences that complement people's creative intent and vision.
• Enhance user capabilities and help creators reach their potential.
• Address product problems as much as engineering problems.
