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.
Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible — all while staying connected to the people around us. In this role you’ll focus on our developer ecosystem, which is central to bringing that vision to life. You’ll partner with teams across engineering like SwiftUI, RealityKit, ARKit, Tools, etc, to drive key efforts to enable external partner experiences. We’re looking for someone who wants to jump into novel and ambiguous problem spaces, and succeeds by seeking out expertise and building consensus. They also need to be skilled at digging into details with engineering teams to facilitate building a plan for software changes to be delivered, and driving the day to day execution and risk mitigation of that plan. You ideally will be a strong collaborator, skilled at making data driven decisions, very detailed, and enthusiastic about the potential of what the developer ecosystem can unlock on Apple Vision Pro. If you relish challenge and are excited by working with a great team on amazing new technology, then we want to hear from you - please apply!
