Software Development Engineer, Vision Products Software

Quick Facts

• Role: Software Development Engineer (Vision Products Software)
• Focus: Apple Intelligence features across system software, frameworks, and user interfaces

Description

You will build end-to-end Apple Intelligence experiences that integrate AI, machine learning, and computer vision to solve high-impact problems at scale. The role is highly cross-functional—covering system software, algorithms, privacy/security, performance, and user experience—and requires creating robust, production-ready systems. You will prototype early concepts, evaluate on-device AI/ML, iterate with evals and prompt refinement to improve quality, and ship production code relied on by millions.

Responsibilities

• Prototype early-stage concepts to validate feasibility and build the case for further investment
• Own the engineering side of cross-functional initiatives from kickoff through delivery
• Solve technically difficult problems embedded within larger engineering efforts
• Engineer solutions spanning sensor/data-pipeline processing through AI/ML algorithms to end-user application logic
• Write Swift, collaborate on UX, debug complex cross-device interactions, and define technical requirements

Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of software development
• Rapid validation through hands-on execution and prototype building
• End-to-end program ownership for cross-functional initiatives from kickoff through delivery
• Ability to translate low-level/raw sensor or pipeline data into user-facing product logic and decisions
• Deep technical ownership as the go-to expert for technically difficult problems
• Excellent programming skills in an app language (preferably Swift, Objective-C, or C++), including data structures, memory management, and concurrency
• Experience evaluating AI/ML algorithms for on-device integration
• Ability to measure and improve model quality through evals and prompt iteration
• Comfort developing with GenAI coding tools

Benefits

• Help redefine how millions of people interact with their devices through Apple Intelligence
• Work at the intersection of AI, system software, and user experience with a focus on privacy, accessibility, and inclusion
• Build features shipped at global scale and trusted by billions
