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: ## Responsibilities Implementation and optimization of agentic systems that manage context and orchestrate tools Partner with ML and AI researchers to translate cutting-edge models into tangible features Prototyping ideas to support feature definition and iteration Clearly communicate technical concepts to cross functional partners Collaboration on architecture discussions and code review ## 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
