Sr. Software Engineer - Apple Vision Pro Developer Ecosystem, Vision Products Group

Job description

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 will work with both 3rd party developers and core engineering teams to enable the development of world-class visionOS experiences.

Strong communication skills are essential, as is your ability to translate technical information to technical on non-technical audiences. The ability to work independently whilst fostering collaborative relationships is important.
