Senior UI Engineer - Special Projects

Summary

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together to do 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. We’d love to work with you.

Description

This team nurtures state-of-the-art intelligence ideas into powerful, usable features and systems. We work with the latest AI research and our talented research teams to build innovative implementations of those ideas on Apple platforms.

We’re a small, nimble team, with varied skills, that’s collaborates to make the best products.

Responsibilities

Research, discuss, and debate the latest in intelligence capabilities across the industry, and the ways those capabilities could form the foundation of future Apple features and products. Collaborate with ML/AI engineers, systems engineers, and designers to build functional prototypes Be able to quickly build an idea so you and the team can work with hands-on products. Then iterate on the best of those prototypes. Build things that you may not be convinced are the best direction or where there may not be clear precedent. Being able to compare, contrast, and discuss all ideas will help bring the best ones forward. Work well in the spaces between Design, engineering, and research, to create magical user experiences Craft systems and UIs that work for demoing new ideas, but also provide mechanisms to observe and debug how these systems behave. Help define frameworks for how UI in AI systems should work
