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 features and build the software layer that enables seamless integration across the operating system. Your daily responsibilities include designing end-to-end experiences, defining interfaces, diagnosing failures, and optimizing code for performance while adhering to strict on-device latency, memory, and power budgets. To succeed, you must be proficient in Swift, Objective-C, or C++ and possess experience building features atop large language models, including tool calling, context construction, and output validation. You will also utilize agentic coding tools to enhance productivity while navigating the ambiguity of early-stage development to solve complex problems regarding how apps expose themselves to an assistant.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop software features that enable end-to-end app experiences within Siri.
  • Partner with app teams to identify and integrate specific capabilities into the assistant's ecosystem.
  • Define and iterate on the architecture for how apps expose their functionality to AI systems.
  • Implement high-performance, debuggable code while adhering to strict 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 whether 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 on top of large language models including tool/function calling, context construction, and output validation.
  • Fluency with agentic coding tools for accelerating 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 efficient in resource-constrained environments like latency, memory, and power budgets (preferred).
  • Experience with evaluation, benchmarking, and telemetry for probabilistic systems (preferred).
