TL;DR · Senior AI Software Engineer, App Intelligence

As a Senior AI Software Engineer, App Intelligence, you will join the team responsible for developing the on-device system that translates app capabilities into reliable actions for Siri. You will work directly with app teams to model their capabilities and build high-performance software that ensures these experiences are fast and dependable. Your daily work involves designing interfaces, diagnosing failures in end-to-end experiences, and contributing to evaluation and telemetry loops to improve user outcomes. The role requires proficiency in Swift, Objective-C, or C++, along with experience building features on top of large language models by designing tool and function-calling interfaces and constructing context. You will also utilize agentic coding tools to enhance productivity while managing strict on-device constraints for latency, memory, and power. This position addresses the challenge of how apps best expose themselves to an assistant.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop software features that enable end-to-end app experiences within Siri.
  • Collaborate with app teams to identify and integrate intelligent capabilities into the assistant.
  • Define and design interfaces for how apps expose their functionality to AI systems.
  • Implement high-performance, well-designed code that adheres to on-device latency, memory, and power budgets.
  • Diagnose failures in end-to-end experiences and translate them into measurable quality improvements.
  • Contribute to evaluation and telemetry loops to validate if changes improve user outcomes.
  • Propose and implement architectural changes to ensure features can scale effectively.
  • Utilize agentic coding tools to enhance engineering productivity and code quality at scale.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years experience developing and shipping production software.
  • Strong proficiency in Swift, Objective-C, or C++.
  • Experience building product features using large language models, including tool/function calling, context construction, and output validation.
  • Fluency with agentic coding tools to accelerate engineering productivity and quality.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to drive alignment across teams on shared API surfaces.
  • Proven ability to excel in a fast-paced development team.
  • Experience designing systems for resource-constrained environments, such as latency, memory, and power budgets (preferred).
  • Experience with evaluation, benchmarking, and telemetry for probabilistic systems (preferred).
