300 jobs for "Senior Software Integration Engineer"

iPhone is the most popular camera in the world, and increasingly it's the camera professionals reach for on film sets, in broadcast trucks, and at live events around the globe. The Pro Video Experiences team in the Camera & Photos org delivers Hollywood-level features that bridge the gap between iPhone's magic and the rigorous expectations of the world's most demanding users.

As an engineer on our team, you'll architect and deliver the features that put iPhone in the hands of professional filmmakers, broadcast engineers, and creatives worldwide, working across the full stack from ISP to API while collaborating with industry partners and standards bodies who are shaping the future of professional media production. This is a unique space where deep systems engineering meets real-world creative workflows, and where the features you build end up on sets, in studios, and at live events consumed by millions of people.

Description

We're looking for a senior software engineer who combines deep technical expertise with genuine fluency in professional video and cinema workflows. In this role, you'll architect and deliver features across the camera stack, from low-level ISP integration to public-facing APIs, while drawing on your understanding of how professional filmmakers, broadcast engineers, and app developers actually work. You'll navigate color science, image processing, and computational photography with the judgment to know what's practically right versus merely academically correct. You'll maintain relationships with industry partners and standards bodies, synthesize signals from conferences and customer conversations into forward-looking roadmap bets, and translate complex technical strategies into compelling narratives for audiences ranging from peer engineers to executive leadership.

Experience building camera/video apps on Apple's platforms is a strong plus: we value engineers who understand the developer experience firsthand and can advocate for our customers with the credibility of someone who has lived in their shoes.","responsibilities":"Architect and deliver professional video features across the full camera stack, from ISP firmware interfaces to public AVFoundation APIs
