Apple builds products that are loved by people around the world—products that enrich lives by making powerful technology feel simple, intuitive, and accessible. Through deep integration of hardware, software, services, and design, we deliver end-to-end experiences that fit naturally into everyday life. This is where ambitious ideas become real products, shipped at global scale and trusted by millions, and increasingly billions, of people. People use Apple products for their most personal activities—from everyday communication to navigation, photos, health, fitness, and more—and we strive to build experiences that work across these seamlessly and contextually with uncompromising privacy & security. We’re looking for software engineers to help harness cutting-edge technologies like AI, machine learning, and computer vision to solve ambitious, high-impact problems for our users. Our work sits at the intersection of AI, system software, and user experience, and aims to create features you’d genuinely want to use.

In this role, you will work across the stack - from the system software and frameworks to end-user interfaces - to build Apple Intelligence features that enrich people’s lives. This is a highly cross-functional role working with design, algorithms, software, services, privacy, security, performance, and sometimes even HW / Silicon teams across Apple to engineer end-to-end solutions. You will need to work quickly and creatively to help demonstrate the viability of ideas and technologies while building robust, production-ready systems that millions of users will depend on. Your work will include building UI interfaces and system software using Swift, evaluating AI/ML algorithms for on-device integration, collaborating on user experience design, debugging complex cross-device interactions, and contributing to a culture of shipping high-quality production code. In addition to software engineering, you will also apply excellent UX intuition to identify and shape experience opportunities, iterate with design, and define technical requirements that drive development.
