iOS Software Engineer, Agentic systems - Special Projects

We're a small team at Apple betting on what comes next. We believe AI will fundamentally change how people interact with their devices — and we're looking for iOS engineers who want to build that future. We can't say much about what we're building for our customers. What we can say: the problems are genuinely new and the potential reach is enormous. Beyond the work, we're a collaborative, humble, and curious group that loves learning from each other and building together.

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. This position requires a self-motivated engineer with strong technical and interpersonal skills to handle responsibilities including:

Minimum qualifications

Strong grasp of Computer Science fundamentals - BS Computer Science or equivalent experience
3+ years of iOS development experience or equivalent product or systems engineering experience
Practical knowledge of how LLM-powered systems work, including prompt engineering and agent frameworks
Experience with coding agents
Curiosity about new technologies, flexibility, and openness to ambiguity

Preferred qualifications

The following skills are not required, but one or more of these areas would be valuable:

Experience building LLM/Agentic systems
Understanding of how to leverage coding agents effectively and translate that experience into insights
Track record of working cross-functionally and building strong partnerships amongst teams and individuals
