Summary

Apple Games, Apple Arcade, and Game Center are the home of gaming on Apple's platforms — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. Join the Game Services UI team to help build the Apple Games app and the user-facing gaming features, frameworks, and developer integrations that sit alongside it. We have an exciting roadmap supporting games ranging from mobile to indie to AAA, reaching deep into the operating system, with the unique opportunity to help define the face of gaming at Apple.

Description

In this role you'll implement new features in existing UIs and frameworks, and design and build sophisticated new experiences from top to bottom. Your day-to-day is primarily Swift and SwiftUI, with UIKit or AppKit used where the situation calls for it. You'll ship features that reach hundreds of millions of players and shape APIs that game developers rely on.

You should bring excellent Swift skills, strong object-oriented design sensibility, a passion for quality, an eye for detail, and strong problem-solving, critical-thinking, and interpersonal skills.
