Software Engineer, Agentic Workflows

Cupertino, California, United States Software and Services 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.
