About the role
What will you do at Apple?
The App Store Product Design Team is responsible for the customer experience
across the App Store, serving hundreds of millions of people every day on
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Watch, Vision Pro and the web. Our team of
designers and researchers design and ship product experiences at a global scale.
We are seeking an exceptional Full Stack Designer who moves fluidly across the
full design continuum, from early concept and creative exploration through to
high-fidelity execution, prototyping, and close collaboration with engineering
on implementation. This is a role for a designer who doesn't stop at the
handoff: someone who uses AI-assisted tools to get closer to the build, produce
functional prototypes, and reduce the distance between design intent and shipped
product.
DESCRIPTION
You will research, concept, ideate, design, and prototype new user experiences
across Apple's platforms, bringing clarity and craft to complex product
challenges at global scale. You move confidently from concept to execution, and
you understand that the handoff to engineering is part of the design, not the
end of it. You leverage AI-powered tools throughout your process, to accelerate
research synthesis, generate and evaluate design directions, build more
expressive prototypes, and reduce friction between design intent and shipped
product. You know when to use these tools to amplify your thinking, and when
craft and judgment require a slower hand. You are a natural collaborator who
thrives in a dynamic, critique-driven environment. You communicate design
decisions with clarity to cross-functional partners across Engineering, Product
Marketing, and Senior Management. You distill highly complex systems into clean,
focused solutions and you hold the bar on visual quality, consistency, and
detail every step of the way.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
8+ years of product design experience shipping on Apple platforms or comparable
consumer-scale digital products An excellent portfolio demonstrating end-to-end
UX, UI, and visual design across mobile, desktop, TV, and web Deep command of
visual and communication design principles, including typography, color, and
layout Proficiency in industry-standard design tools (Figma, Sketch, Keynote)

tools as an active part of your design workflow, generative, analytical, or
agentic Ability to use AI-assisted prototyping or development tools to produce
functional, testable design artifacts Experience designing iOS app experiences
end-to-end, with working familiarity of iOS development patterns and constraints
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to present and
defend decisions to cross-functional partners and senior leadership A deep
understanding of the Apple design aesthetic, Human Interface Guidelines, and
platform conventions
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience designing and shipping AI-native product experiences, including
conversational interfaces, intelligent recommendations, or adaptive UI Previous
experience in an e-commerce or marketplace environment Familiarity with SwiftUI
sufficient to collaborate with engineering on interaction feasibility and
implementation tradeoffs Familiarity with spec-driven development practices
Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or
equivalent professional experience.
