Senior Application Software Engineer Spatial Intelligence Experiences, Vision Products Software

The Spatial Intelligence Experiences team is looking for a senior software engineer to own and drive application and experience development in the novel intersection of Spatial Computing and Generative AI. You will leverage the latest features in the Apple Intelligence stack pitch new ideas via prototyping and ship highly polished user-facing features in places like Siri AI and Image Playground. With a sharp focus on reimagining AI features to bring unique value to the spatial environment you will also work across Apples device ecosystem (iOS macOS iPadOS) collaborate with engineering design and QA teams to ship a consistent user experience to the end customer.

Apps and experiences are at the core of unleashing the potential of Apples Spatial Computing this role you will lead development to ship customer-facing spatial computing features powered by cutting-edge AI such as embodied conversational AI assistants and generative spatial experiences. You will own end-to-end development of the user experience taking an idea from prototype to technical spec to shipped code. And you will achieve this by driving strong collaboration with other engineering teams (whose software your feature may depend on) as well as design and quality assurance making sure the shipped product meets Apples high standard of quality and polish.

Ship customer-facing spatial computing features powered by cutting-edge AI such as embodied conversational AI assistants and generative spatial features end to end with a sharp focus on UI/UX polish. Take an idea from prototype to technical spec to production code that meets Apples high shipping from the user. Keep user pain points and the value the product can deliver front of mind and bring strong product and design sense to lead through collaboration across teams. Work closely with the engineering teams whose software your features depend on as well as with design and quality assurance for mobile platforms where compute and power are tightly limited. Analyze and discover new ways to optimize performance of features so they can run smoothly and meet power and performance with modern AI tooling. Use LLM-assisted development tools and build effective agentic workflows to move software quickly and steadily through each release as a senior member. Work independently and proactively build strong relationships with cross-functional partners and help the engineering team run more efficiently.

BS / MS / PhD in Computer Science OR equivalent experience.n5 years of experience owning and shipping consumer-facing applications or user experience Computer Science fundamentals and strong 3D math/linear algebra in Swift Objective-C or C. And familiarity with UI frameworks such as SwiftUI and solving technical challenges across multiple layers of a software stack such as logging and diagnosing events from application code UI framework system framework and backend with agentic development tools and workflows to accelerate coding debugging and in collaborating with a design team to iterate on UI feature implementation and polish. Ability to clearly articulate problems and explain the trade-offs of different software solution options.

Experience with 3D graphics APIs and/or game engines and demonstrated experience shipping interactive 3D applications on consumer platforms (mobile/web/game consoles/VR/etc.).nExperience in driving projects or complex features as a technical lead - defining new feature architecture aligning spec and KPI with design and performance stakeholders coordinating with dependency engineering and QA teams to land features through release in prototyping and developing new user experiences powered by evolving LLM capabilities e.g. a new use case of generative imagery that drives new capabilities of an underlying diffusion in optimizing software running on mobile platforms with goals to achieve demanding targets of power and with AI feature development such as prompting model fine-tuning and evaluation.
