Sr. Applied AI Software Engineer- Vision Products Group & Siri

In this role, you will work across the stack, from low-level system software and frameworks to end-user experiences. Your work will be highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with design, algorithms, software, services, privacy, security, performance, and hardware teams across Apple to define requirements and build end to end user facing features. You will write software using Swift, evaluate AI/ML algorithms, debug complex cross-device interactions, and contribute to a culture of shipping high-quality production code. You will also need to apply excellent UX intuition to identify and shape feature opportunities, iterate with design, and define technical requirements that drive development.
