UX Software Engineer - Special Projects

Were a small team at Apple betting on what comes next. We believe AI will fundamentally change how people interact with their devices - and were looking for software engineers who want to build that future.

We cant say much about what were building for our customers. What we can say: the problems are genuinely new and the potential reach is enormous.

Beyond the work, were a collaborative, humble, and curious group that loves learning from each other and building together. Youll 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. Youll have a lot of autonomy in how you get there. Youll grow here. The work is hard enough to demand it and the team is generous enough to support it.Designing and building iOS-based software that re-imagines and creates new Apple experiences using AI Prototyping rapidly to explore what works - then making it real Partnering closely with Design, Machine Learning, and other teams to shape features, not just implement specs Contributing to architecture decisions, absorbing how senior engineers think, and growing your technical voice Investing in the quality and reliability of what you ship - through testing, tooling, and infrastructure that gives the team confidenceBS Computer Science or equivalent experience 3+ years of mobile or application development experience, strong CS fundamentals, iOS and Swift experience is a plus - but if youre strong in another platform, youll pick it up here. Youve shipped software that people used - and youre ready to own bigger pieces end-to-end Youve built something from scratch - a side project, hackathon, or an app you shipped on your own. You know what it takes to go from zero to something real You figure things out. When youre stuck, you dig in - reading the source, building a prototype, or asking the right questions Comfortable with ambiguity - you may not have all the answers yet, but you know how to find them You work well with others and communicate clearly across teams Youre curious about AI tools and you are already experimenting with how they change the way you write codeExperience developing software for human-AI interaction Experience in one or more iOS/macOS domains: system services, UI frameworks, concurrent application architecture, or performance optimization You seek out feedback and learn fast from the people around you Close to the frontier. Youre the person your friends come to when a new model drops or a new technique emerges A point of view on where human-AI interaction is headed - and the drive to be part of building it
