UI Frameworks Engineer, Swift Platform Experience

Do you want to help define the future of app development? Join the UI Frameworks team and empower developers to build better apps with less code. You’ll collaborate with passionate and creative colleagues to meet ambitious goals in an environment that not only encourages, but requires constant curiosity and growth. The work we do together will shape the developer experience on Apple's platforms and beyond for decades to come!

Description

As an engineer on the UI Frameworks team, you will develop features and APIs across SwiftUI and UIKit that impact all of Apple’s platforms and delight over a billion users. You will be responsible for bringing your ideas to life through all stages of their development: from initial research, to API design and proposals, to testing and development in Swift, to documentation and offering guidance to adopters.

Youʼll join us in energetic discussions on each otherʼs work and ideas, alongside members of other teams possessing a variety of different perspectives and domain expertise.

The UI Frameworks team is responsible for the core SwiftUI and UIKit frameworks and works closely with UI framework teams across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Youʼll also have the opportunity to collaborate with experts throughout Apple including: compiler engineers, interface designers, and technical writers. Curious and enterprising individuals who take an expansive view of their role will thrive in this multi-disciplinary environment!

Our goal is to dramatically improve the correctness, performance, and polish of apps across all of Appleʼs platforms — simultaneously making it easier for beginners to get started and empowering seasoned pros to make their apps shine. Because we have the privilege of collaborating closely with the Swift, Xcode, design, and framework teams up and down the software stack, we believe Apple's UI frameworks can be — by far — the best app development experience in the world. If youʼre interested in helping define this future and pushing the state of the art forward, weʼd love to hear from you!
