AR/VR Software Engineer, Vision Products Software

Summary
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.

Description
Join the RealityKit framework and tools team building the infrastructure and automation systems that power Apple's spatial computing platform. This unique role combines deep technical knowledge of real-time 3D systems with expertise in build technologies, CI/CD pipelines, and test automation.

You will design and maintain the development infrastructure that enables the RealityKit team to deliver cutting-edge rendering and spatial computing capabilities. Your graphics background will inform decisions about performance testing harnesses, shader compilation pipelines, visual regression systems, and build optimizations specific to real-time 3D workloads and spatial rendering.

We're looking for an engineer with a background in real-time programming who finds the greatest satisfaction in building systems that empower the team to create exceptional user experiences. While your day-to-day work focuses on build systems and developer infrastructure, your north star is enabling teams to ship products users love. You'll work at the boundary between graphics frameworks and infrastructure engineering, ensuring that complex spatial computing technologies can be developed, tested, and delivered with confidence across Apple's platforms. Your passion for craft and user-focused product development will drive you to optimize not just for technical excellence, but for the velocity and quality that ultimately reaches our customers.

We will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations.
