The App Store & Games Product Design Team is looking for a Design Engineer who combines design craft with software engineering. This role focuses on creating engineering infrastructure and workflows that empower designers to build and ship high-quality prototypes. The engineer will work closely with designers and engineering teams to establish technical standards and enhance collaboration. The position requires a strong understanding of both web technologies and native iOS/macOS development.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in iOS/macOS development (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit)
• Equally strong proficiency with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React or similar)
• Strong proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and developer infrastructure including TestFlight, code signing, and build distribution
• Experience architecting codebases for collaboration, establishing patterns, documentation, and structure that enable others to build on top of your work
• Experience integrating with APIs, backend services, and data pipelines
• Demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted development tools, with a clear perspective on how these tools are changing engineering workflows
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate between design and engineering contexts with clarity
• Experience working within or closely alongside design teams, with a genuine appreciation for design craft, visual quality, and interaction detail
• Experience with Core Animation, Core Graphics, Metal, or advanced motion and animation frameworks
• Familiarity with machine learning pipelines, personalization systems, or recommendation engines, and the ability to interface with these systems to improve user-facing experiences
• Experience setting up and managing internal tools, developer platforms, or prototype distribution systems
• Previous experience mentoring or enabling non-engineers in technical workflows
• Experience working in environments where design and engineering boundaries are intentionally blurred
• Familiarity with spec-driven development practices
• A deep understanding of the Apple design aesthetic, Human Interface Guidelines, and platform conventions

• Architect and structure code projects so that designers can contribute effectively.
• Manage version control and collaboration workflows.
• Distribute prototypes through TestFlight and internal platforms.
• Ensure that what is built is maintainable, well-organized, and ready for engineering adoption.
• Take working prototypes and elevate them from proof-of-concept to structured, distributable artifacts.
• Facilitate handover and align on technical standards with engineering teams.
• Evaluate new tools to maintain the team's technical edge.
