Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and ship user-facing features for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS using SwiftUI and Swift, with an emphasis on AI-first experiences that integrate Copilot capabilities.
• Own features end-to-end, including architecture, service integration, authentication, instrumentation, rollout, and ongoing quality.
• Implement robust client-side AI interactions (streaming UX, retries/fallbacks, latency/bandwidth tradeoffs) to ensure reliable, high-craft experiences.
• Collaborate across disciplines and code boundaries (Objective-C/C++, adjacent services) and drive dependencies, design documents, and project plans with stakeholders.
• Maintain a high engineering bar: code reviews, unit/UI tests, accessibility, localization, privacy, and security-by-design.
• Use telemetry, experimentation, and on-call ownership to define success metrics, detect regressions, and improve reliability, availability, and performance at scale.
• Mentor and support teammates, sharing best practices and evolving engineering craft on Apple platforms.
