Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Our team builds the user-facing experiences that bring personalized intelligence to iOS. We craft the surfaces millions of customers see every day — from how notifications are summarized, to which widgets surface in smart stacks, to predicting what app you'll launch next. We're looking for a software engineer to help turn privacy-preserving, on-device intelligence into experiences that feel intuitive, transparent, and delightful. This is an opportunity to shape how personalization shows up across iOS while upholding Apple's commitments to privacy and user agency.
