- **Company:** Apple Inc.
- **Location:** Santa Clara, CA, United States
- **Experience:** Experienced
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Apple IOS, Applications Architecture, Performance Tuning, Software Engineering, Ios Frameworks, Information Technology
- **Published:** July 13, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.techcareers.com/job.asp?id=3317950092&tx=YT606CYT&pt=1&aff=0B19D771-A501-4A5E-8338-2A822B784D54&utm_source=Job%20Feed&utm_medium=textkernel&utm_campaign=DE&utm_term=0B19D771-A501-4A5E-8338-2A822B784D54

## About the Role

* BS 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 you're strong in another platform, you'll pick it up here.
 * You've shipped software that people used - and you're ready to own bigger pieces end-to-end
 * You've 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 you're 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
 * You're curious about AI tools and you are already experimenting with how they change the way you write code

Preferred Qualifications

 * Experience 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. You're 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

## Description

You'll 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. You'll have a lot of autonomy in how you get there. You'll grow here. The work is hard enough to demand it and the team is generous enough to support it.
