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 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.

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. You'll grow here. The work is hard enough to demand it and the team is generous enough to support it.

Requirements

• BS Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of mobile or application development experience
• Strong CS fundamentals
• Shipped software that people used
• Built something from scratch (side project, hackathon, or an app shipped independently)
• Comfortable with ambiguity
• Work well with others
• Curious about AI tools

Nice To Haves

• iOS and Swift experience is a plus
• Experience developing software for human-AI interaction
• Experience in one or more iOS/macOS domains: system services, UI frameworks, concurrent application architecture, or performance optimization
• Seek out feedback and learn fast from people around you
• A point of view on where human-AI interaction is headed

Responsibilities

• Bring AI features from early prototype to product.
• Work from a rough idea on a whiteboard to software running on real devices.

• Build something from scratch.
• Figure things out when stuck by digging in, reading source, building prototypes, or asking questions.
• Communicate clearly across teams.
• Experiment with AI tools and how they change the way code is written.
