Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something.

Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible - all while staying connected to the people around us.

In this role, you will work with both 3rd party developers and core engineering teams to enable the development of world-class visionOS experiences. You will work directly with developers building for Apple Vision Pro, understand their needs, resolve/identify technical blockers, and support the creation of apps for Apple Vision Pro. You will also work with internal engineering teams to shape Apple's APIs through the lens of real-world developer needs. As an engineer on this team, you will have the opportunity to build the future of spatial computing for developers and users alike.

The ideal candidate has a background developing software for Apple platforms using Swift and Objective-C and extensive experience shipping apps for visionOS, iOS/iPadOS, or macOS. Experience with other frameworks/tools integral to building great apps for visionOS are desirable (RealityKit, SwiftUI, Reality Composer Pro) as is familiarity with 3D content or spatial computing concepts. Strong communication skills are essential, as is your ability to translate technical information to technical on non-technical audiences. The ability to work independently whilst fostering collaborative relationships is important.
