Do you want to help define the future of app development on Apple platforms? Join the UIKit team and help shape the APIs and components used by millions of apps across iOS, iPadOS, and beyond. When you work here, you don’t just ship features — you influence how developers around the world build and experience apps. We’re a small, passionate team driving big impact across the entire Apple ecosystem.
UIKit powers nearly every interface you see on iPhone and iPad — from touch and event handling to animation,text, layout, and high-level components like UICollectionView, UIHostingConfiguration, and UIGestureRecognizer. As part of the UIKit team, you’ll collaborate closely with Human Interface designers and partner frameworks to prototype, refine, and deliver the next generation of UI technologies. You’ll work side by side with internal teams to create APIs that inspire developers and power incredible experiences. If you’re motivated by clean architecture, thoughtful design, and making software that millions depend on every day - we'd love to hear from you.
  • Own and evolve key areas of UIKit in collaboration with UIKit leadership
  • Implement new features, improvements, and regressions with an eye for maintainability and performance
  • Design, document, and test clean and extensible APIs and SPIs
  • Participate actively in code and design reviews
  • Work closely with HI on evaluating and implementing new interface concepts
  • Diagnose and resolve issues across the UI frameworks stack
  • 5+ years of hands-on UIKit development experience on iOS
  • Strong proficiency in Swift
  • Familiarity with Objective-C
  • Experience with Core Animation, layout, and event handling
  • Solid understanding of debugging, profiling, and performance optimization
  • Familiarity with Xcode, LLDB, Git, and related development tools
  • Clear communication and collaborative problem-solving skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Experience with SwiftUI
  • Background in framework-level rather than application-level development
  • Knowledge of UIKit on other platforms (e.g. visionOS, Catalyst, CarPlay)
  • Understanding of UIKit’s animation and text APIs
  • Experience working with UIKit’s collection view and menu APIs
  • Familiarity with system-level tracing and performance analysis tools
