Role summary
Apple's Creator Studio team is seeking a Software Engineer to develop agentic intelligence features for professional creative applications. This role involves turning AI capabilities into product features, including agent tooling and app integrations, to enhance user creativity. The engineer will collaborate with human interface designers, quality teams, and other engineering groups. The position requires 2+ years of experience in production-quality code development and proficiency in a modern programming language like Swift or Objective-C. A strong product sense and ability to communicate effectively across disciplines are essential. Preferred qualifications include experience with creative tools, Apple platforms, and integrating LLMs.
Description
The Creator Studio team is seeking a Software Engineer to help design and build the features that bring agentic intelligence to our creative applications. You'll turn frontier AI capabilities into real product: the agent tooling, app integrations, and experiences that complement people's creative intent and vision. The best creative tools make a person more capable, not less involved; they are a lever for creators to iterate faster, explore further, and realize their ideas. We are building assistance that enhances what people can already do and helps them reach their potential. Getting that balance right is a product problem as much as an engineering one, and it is at the heart of this role.
Minimum Qualifications
2+ years developing and shipping production-quality code, or equivalent demonstrated experience. Your code is reliable, maintainable, and well-tested. Proficiency in a modern programming language (Swift, Objective-C, or similar) and a willingness to work across the app stack. A strong product sense and curiosity about creative workflows. Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and to communicate clearly across disciplines. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent depth through professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Deep, hands-on experience as a professional or power user of creative tools — DAWs, NLEs, image editors, office productivity apps, or design suites. You know these workflows from the inside, and you have a point of view about what helps a creator and what gets in the way. Experience with Apple's own creative apps is not required. Background that blends technical skill with creative-domain expertise. We welcome candidates with non-traditional backgrounds: product insight and judgment can matter as much as a conventional Computer Science background. Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or building agent harnesses. Experience with Swift and Apple platforms (iOS/macOS), including system frameworks and performant, correct, concurrent code.
