This is an opportunity to make a significant impact. You will collaborate with highly skilled teams dedicated to engineering excellence and deliver features that uphold strong privacy guarantees for end users.
Description
Our team is responsible for building the on-device software that makes iCloud work.

This system underlies many Apple Intelligence features. We need an engineer to design and build the frameworks and daemons that support Private Cloud Compute; to work closely with other engineering teams around the company who are adopting this technology, and with our colleagues who build dependencies on the client and the server.
