iOS Software Engineer, Siri Home Devices
About the position Siri handles billions of interactions across Apple devices. With Apple Intelligence, expectations for those moments are changing fast. Now Siri is at a rare inflection point: the product is evolving rapidly, the quality bar is rising, and there’s real opportunity to shape what comes next. On the Siri Devices team, we own the on-device Siri experience—both the UI people interact with and the iOS frameworks and system integrations that power it. You’ll ship work that reaches millions of people worldwide. You'll craft the Siri experience, from UI down to the frameworks and services that power it—making it feel fast, reliable, and natural. How you'll grow You'll start with well-scoped work and strong support: design reviews, pairing sessions, and code review from senior engineers who know the platform deeply. As you ship and build judgment, you'll take on broader ownership—larger features, architectural contributions, and more open-ended problems. This team has a track record of growing engineers into senior roles. You'll get exposure to how the full Siri stack fits together and the kind of complex, cross-functional work that accelerates careers. You might thrive here if You seek out feedback and incorporate it quickly. You ramp into new systems fast and enjoy learning large codebases. You can make progress when requirements evolve and you ask good questions early. You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, and follow through. You communicate clearly and directly, especially when something is uncertain. Technology We use Swift and Objective-C; new development is primarily Swift. You don't need Objective-C expertise, but you should be comfortable learning and contributing in a mixed codebase. Life in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh has an energized tech scene and is genuinely easy to live in: distinct neighborhoods, great food, rivers and trails, and more time back in your day.
