visionOS, Systems Framework Software Engineer

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.

The Vision Products Group is seeking a senior engineer to help architect and implement cross-device frameworks and APIs for our platforms. This engineer will enhance the capabilities and performance of these platforms through the development of edge computing, distributed systems, and a broad range of applications, including AIML, computer vision, and multimedia processing.
