Job description

The Pro Video Experiences team is seeking a senior software engineer to architect and deliver features that enhance the iPhone's capabilities for professional filmmakers and broadcast engineers. This role involves working across the full stack, from low-level ISP integration to public-facing APIs, while collaborating with industry partners. The engineer will navigate complex technical strategies and translate them into compelling narratives for diverse audiences. A strong understanding of professional video workflows and systems engineering is essential.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with the ability to architect systems end-to-end.
  • Proven track record of independently driving complex, cross-team technical efforts from ambiguity to delivery.
  • Strong programming skills in Objective-C, C, C++, or Swift across both greenfield and legacy codebases.
  • Deep expertise in professional video technology including color science, video codecs, and broadcast workflows.
  • Experience working directly with professional video hardware and production environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present technical strategies to engineering peers and senior leadership.
  • A CS degree or equivalent years of relevant industry experience.
  • Professional experience in broadcast, cinema, or live production technology.
  • Familiarity with industry timing and synchronization standards such as PTP/IEEE 1588 and timecode.
  • Experience building apps or frameworks on Apple platforms like iOS and macOS.
  • Demonstrated understanding of AVFoundation, Core Media, or Core Video.
  • Track record of engaging with external partners, customers, or standards bodies.
  • Experience with SDI, DisplayPort, or professional video signal transport.
  • Comfort navigating HDR workflows or real-time image processing pipelines.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and deliver features across the camera stack for professional video applications.
  • Collaborate with industry partners and standards bodies to shape the future of media production.
  • Maintain relationships with industry partners and synthesize insights from conferences and customer conversations.
  • Translate complex technical strategies into compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
  • Advocate for customer needs based on firsthand experience in building camera/video apps.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
