Software Development Engineer, Vision Products Software

Summary: Weʼre building the next generation of improvements in making Apple Intelligence more aware, more personal, and even more deeply integrated with the ecosystem of Apple products that millions of users know and love today. Weʼre enabling our intelligent systems with access to computer vision, additional sensing, and enhanced reasoning capabilities, all while upholding the strong privacy values our users can trust. Weʼre looking for software engineers to build user experiences that will harness cutting-edge sensing and AI technology to bring new and delightful experiences to life.

Description: In this role, you will work across the stack, from low-level system software to large foundation models to end-user experiences. Your work will be highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with design, algorithms, software, AI, evaluation, services, privacy, security, performance, and hardware teams across Apple to define requirements and build end to end user facing features. You will work with foundation models in delivering intelligence powered experiences. This includes deciding what contextual signals to surface, structuring them through prompts, retrieval, or tool outputs, and making sure models use that information faithfully without over-relying on it, hallucinating, or using it inappropriately. You will also need to apply excellent UX intuition to identify and shape feature opportunities, iterate with design, and define technical requirements that drive development.

Key Responsibilities: Design and own evaluation infrastructure that measure effectiveness of LLM powered features Utilize evaluations and experimentation to make technical tradeoffs and optimize performance Work with platform teams to turn raw signals into structured context as input for models Represent your work in XF forums to drive direction and decisions
