Software Engineer, Agentic Workflows

We're a team at Apple building the next generation of developer tooling, services, and workflows for how Siri and the AI experiences around it get built. The work sits at the intersection of agentic AI, developer tools, and evaluation infrastructure, driven by a belief that the way world-class AI products get built is changing, and we want to be the team defining what that looks like at Apple. The problem space is novel, the surface area is large, and what we build reaches a lot of people.

Description

You'll work alongside engineers, designers, and researchers to design, build, and ship software end-to-end from early prototypes to production systems running in the cloud. The team is investing heavily in agentic systems, the developer experience around them, and the evaluation infrastructure that tells us whether what we're shipping actually works. The work spans agent design, evaluation, cloud services, and developer tooling. You'll have meaningful autonomy in how you get there, and the opportunity to shape both what we build and how the broader org adopts it. The problems are hard, and the team is set up to help you grow into them.

Responsibilities:

Design and build software, services, and developer tooling that shape how Siri and AI experiences get built

Prototype novel systems and workflows in close collaboration with the engineers who use them

Scale successful prototypes into production systems the broader org depends on

Partner with cross-functional teammates to define features, tools, and workflows

Contribute to architecture decisions and help set the technical bar for the team

Own the quality and reliability of what you ship through testing, metrics, tooling, and infrastructure the team and customers can trust

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building and deploying cloud-based applications and services at scale

Background building developer tools and agentic workflows

Familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes)

Proficiency with one or more scripting languages (Python, Ruby, Bash)

Deep expertise with generative AI coding tools, you've pushed past everyday usage into custom agents, evals, or workflows

You follow the frontier closely, curious about new models and techniques, with a point of view on where human-AI interaction is headed

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years of software engineering experience with strong CS fundamentals

Proficiency in Swift, Objective-C, Python, Go, or another modern language, strong engineers in adjacent stacks will pick up the rest

You've shipped software that people used, and you're ready to own bigger pieces end-to-end

Strong working proficiency with generative AI coding tools, you've integrated tools like Claude, Cursor, or Codex into how you work, and have a point of view on where they help and where they don't

Genuine interest in software evaluation and quality, you want measurement and data to be central to how you ship, not an afterthought

Comfortable with ambiguity; when you're stuck, you dig in

Strong communication and a track record of working well across teams

You seek out feedback and learn fast from the people around you

BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
