We are looking for a Design Prototyper to help shape the future of software experiences across Apple platforms. This role sits at the intersection of interaction design and prototyping engineering. You should have strong interaction and visual design craft, while also being comfortable building interactive prototypes using Swift, SwiftUI, and modern web technologies. You will work closely with fellow prototypers across AI, machine learning, UI, and app development to rapidly explore emerging technologies, prototype intelligent and AI-driven experiences, and investigate new interaction models. Our team operates as a software incubation group exploring concepts typically one to three years out — and sometimes further. We use prototypes not just to demonstrate ideas, but to discover them.
