Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.

We're looking for an engineer to help us craft the future of search in Safari, with a focus on privacy and user experience. The team builds on the industry-leading WebKit engine and Apple's frameworks to deliver a fluid browsing experience and powerful, easy-to-use features.

A key part of your job will be optimizing the retrieval and display of Smart Search field results, both local and server-provided, and considering new improvements to the entire search experience in Safari. You will collaborate with other teams at Apple focused on search, iOS and macOS application and framework teams, and Apple's Human Interface group. In this role, we want you to be imaginative and self-motivated, and care deeply about craftsmanship and quality.
