Description For Location Software Engineer

Apple's Location Software Engineering team is at the forefront of personalizing user experiences on Apple devices based on location intelligence. This team powers crucial features like suggested locations in Maps, Calendar integration, and Photos Memories, as well as practical functions like Do Not Disturb While Driving and parking location memory.

We're seeking experienced technical leaders to advance our location-based software capabilities. The role combines deep technical expertise in GPS, WiFi location, and embedded sensing with high-level application development. You'll work on recommendation engines and contextual intelligence while maintaining strict privacy standards and resource efficiency.

The position offers the opportunity to work with cross-functional teams across sensing, Siri, and various apps. You'll develop sophisticated algorithms for processing sensor data, implement privacy-first solutions, and create features that impact millions of users worldwide. The role requires strong technical skills, statistical knowledge, and a passion for location-based technologies.

Apple's approach prioritizes user privacy while delivering intelligent features - we don't send sensitive data back to Apple or expose it to third parties. This creates unique technical challenges that require innovative solutions. You'll be part of a team that believes in doing things the right way, even when it's more challenging.

The compensation package includes a competitive base salary range of $143,100 to $264,200, plus equity opportunities through stock programs, comprehensive benefits, and potential bonuses.
