About the Role

Do you want to help reshape productivity software for tomorrow's consumers and creators? Are you interested in creating amazing user experiences on macOS, iOS and i PadOS, and visionOS? Do you have a passion for code that is as elegant as the output that it produces? The Graphics team in Apple's Visual Productivity Apps group is looking for an engineer to help build the future of i Work, Freeform, and other apps for visual creation. As a content software engineer on the Graphics team you will collaborate closely with designers and production teams as we produce dynamic and impactful graphic content that assists and inspires people doing their best work in apps like Freeform, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. In this work you'll cross our entire stack, operating everywhere from the low-level persistence layers to our cloud technologies to the visual level that our users see every day. Your work will be both behind-the-scenes and in the face of every person who creates a new project in our apps. This role comes with the opportunity to work closely with other internal teams that love our products, and get fast feedback long before shipping to the App Store.
