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

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. You will need to be comfortable writing Swift code, 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. Minimum Qualifications BS / MS / PhD in Computer Science or equivalent experience 5+ years in software development Excellent programming skills in an app programming language (preferably at least one of Swift, Objective-C, C++) and strong understanding of data structures, memory management, and concurrency Systems thinking, including ability to break down ambiguous problems and drive clarity on critical details Strong intuition for user experience + ability to translate user needs into technical requirements Knowledge and/or experience with building experiences backed by LLM's or Computer Vision Solid cross-functional collaboration and technical communication skills Preferred Qualifications Shipping user-facing features or products to production at scale Developing for iOS/MacOS and/or using Apple system frameworks like SwiftUI and ARKit Building & shipping features using LLMs and/or Machine Learning algorithms, including on-device inference, data-driven validation, requirement definition, and collaboration with algorithm teams Processing sensor data, (e.g. image/video, audio, motion), such as using computer vision / signal processing, working with vector transforms, and/or developing AR applications Developing & validating personalization features, including working with sensitive datasources such as conversation transcripts or Health data Developing under strict privacy and security constraints, including techniques like secure data processing, and/or privacy-by-design principles Developing system software or frameworks, including API definition and performance optimization (particularly for resource constrained or real-time systems)
