Software Engineer - Apple Vision Pro

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 Products Group (VPG) is looking for a Software Engineer to help us push the limits of the next generation of interactive experiences on our platform. This team is working with some of Apple’s most advanced technologies including spatial computing, augmented reality, ARKit, and Metal, to create groundbreaking new products.

As a member of our creative organization, you will have the uniquely rewarding opportunity to craft future products that will delight and inspire millions of people every single day.

Apple makes the newest technologies accessible to create extraordinary user experiences. Join the Reality Kit framework and tools team where you will develop the next generation of creative tools for spatial computing — bringing new capabilities to the developers and creators building for our platform. You will design and implement new features that fundamentally change how people build and create content.

You care deeply about the customer experience and have a keen eye for detail, where every interaction matters. We're looking for an engineer with strong software engineering fundamentals and sharp product sensibility. You will help define the future of our creative tools — prototyping ideas, evaluating new technologies, working with designers to gather feedback, and ultimately shipping high-quality features to our customers.

You understand the strengths and limitations of emerging technologies, keep pace with the latest developments in the field, and have a strong instinct for where technology can meaningfully enhance creative workflow. Your passion for craft and user‑focused product development will drive you to build tools and features that enable our customers to do their best work.
