Join the team building revolutionary ML experiences for Apple Watch!

You'll work closely with the teams building all the applications and frameworks that make up watchOS, as well as new hardware and human interface teams, to build experiences that are only just becoming possible from advances in LLM and Generative AI research.



Description
You will have many responsibilities relating to the design, development, and testing of device software. We love prototyping new ideas to explore the frontier of what is possible, but our success is measured by our ability to productize and ship highly-polished features to millions of Apple Watch users. Responsibilities include:

- Working with designers to turn vague ideas into meaningful prototypes, and demoing them to stakeholders.

- Writing high quality, well tested, and performant code to develop those prototypes into polished, Apple-level experiences that we're proud to ship.

- Architect systems that are extensible, adaptable, and stand the test of time.

- Collaborate with dozens of app, framework, and ML teams at every level of the stack to build a strong, robust foundation for the experiences we look to ship.

- Profile and optimize cutting-edge features to run well on a low-powered, highly-constrained device.

- Work daily with quality assurance teams to find and fix all the bugs, edge cases, and performance issues that impact the user experience.
