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. The Vision Pro Persona Team is looking for senior software engineers to help us build one of Apple's most personal communication experiences on our next generation spatial computing platform, visionOS. As a senior engineer on the Vision Pro Persona team, you will play a significant role in defining and building the Persona experience on Apple's spatial computing platform - pushing you to think outside the box and work closely with designers and system software teams to solve incredibly challenging problems.
Description
The Vision Pro Persona team is focused on building the user experience and system architecture for Personas on Apple's new visionOS platform. This team works on deeply integrating Personas with FaceTime, SharePlay, and the visionOS platform as a whole, as well as delivering polished, delightful user experiences that foster real-time interaction as digital and spatial Personas. As a senior member of our team, you will help us craft future experiences that will delight, inspire and empower millions of people. We work mostly in Swift, SwiftUI, RealityKit, and Objective-C to build and refine Personas on visionOS. Successful engineers will be prepared to work from the applications layer down to the firmware, building and maintaining stable and performant code that serves as the bedrock of Personas on the platform.
