TL;DR · AI Software Engineer, App Intelligence

AI Software Engineer, App Intelligence joins the App Intelligence team within the Siri organization to build the on-device runtime foundation for Apple Intelligence. This role involves designing and maintaining a robust platform that enables end-to-end Siri experiences across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. You will develop interfaces for app capabilities, manage tool and function-calling schemas, and optimize system performance for latency, memory, and power budgets. The position requires proficiency in C++, Swift, or Objective-C, along with a deep understanding of OS internals, concurrency, and memory management. You will solve complex problems regarding how apps expose themselves to an assistant, utilizing Large Language Models and agentic coding tools. Key responsibilities include debugging failures, shaping architecture, and evolving the runtime-to-model interfaces to ensure reliable execution.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain the on-device runtime platform that enables end-to-end Siri experiences.
  • Implement scalable, maintainable, and high-performance code following engineering best practices.
  • Shape key architecture decisions to ensure the product can scale effectively.
  • Debug, profile, and optimize system performance to meet strict on-device latency, memory, and power budgets.
  • Diagnose end-to-end Siri experience failures and convert them into measurable quality and reliability improvements.
  • Contribute to the shared evaluation and telemetry loop to measure and prove platform improvements.
  • Design and evolve interfaces between the runtime and the model, including tool-calling schemas and context construction.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience developing and shipping production software.
  • Strong proficiency in C++, Swift, or Objective-C with a solid understanding of object-oriented programming.
  • Strong understanding of OS internals, concurrency, multithreading, and memory management.
  • Strong familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI assistants, including fluency in agentic coding tools.
  • Experience with system performance analysis and optimization techniques.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience collaborating across different technical teams.
  • Proficiency with Swift and Xcode for Apple platforms (preferred).
