Senior Product Designer - Internal Tools for Engineers

Apple Inc.; Culver City (CA); On-site; Full time

Job description

Culver City, California, United States Design

Apple is where people do the best work of their careers. Work that has an impact on individuals and the world. Work that is challenging and fulfilling. Work that doesn’t always feel like work. We are building the next generation of cloud infrastructure, software development and AI platforms that power some of the world’s most beloved services ranging from Music, TV+, Sports, and App Store to emerging AI and GenAI-driven experiences. At the center of this effort, the Internal Tools HI design team is reimagining how Apple engineers build, ship, and scale the infrastructure behind them. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape that future: tackling complex interaction challenges at scale, setting design direction, and creating experiences that make thousands of engineers meaningfully more capable every day. We’re looking for someone who’s energized by hard problems, high craft, and work that ships to a technically sophisticated audience.

Description

As a Senior Product Designer on the Internal Tools HI design team, you’ll work closely with cross‑functional partners to research, ideate, design, and prototype intuitive, user‑centered solutions for Apple engineers. This role requires a sharp eye for precision and design system fidelity, along with a strong blend of information architecture, interaction, and visual design skills. You’ll work under tight deadlines while incorporating input from design leadership and a wide range of cross‑functional stakeholders. Strong collaboration skills, composure under pressure, and adaptability to rapid change are essential. You’ll help set the design direction for the team while contributing to process improvements and team growth. You’re expected to leverage AI‑powered tools throughout your process to accelerate research synthesis, generate and evaluate design directions, build prototypes, and reduce friction between design intent and shipped product.

Minimum Qualifications

• 7+ years of design experience with a focus on web.
• Proven track record of solving complex interaction problems across multiple platforms.
• Portfolio showcasing excellence in interaction design, visual design, and problem‑solving.
• Outstanding ability to communicate design thinking to engineers, product managers, and leadership through storytelling, visuals, and presentations.
• Demonstrated success translating technical data constructs into clear, user‑centered experiences.
• Proficiency in industry‑standard design tools (Sketch, Figma, Keynote) and comfort adopting new tools as the landscape evolves.
• Experience managing multiple complex projects simultaneously.
• Thrives in collaborative critique environments and actively incorporates feedback to strengthen design outcomes.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a track record of adapting to rapid change.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing developer‑facing portals or tools for professionals working with big data, complex infrastructure, or similarly technical domains.
• Ability to use AI‑assisted prototyping or development tools to produce functional, testable design artifacts, going beyond static mocks to accelerate validation.
• Confidence leading and presenting a design‑first vision that bridges highly technical data constructs with demanding user requirements.
• Experience planning and conducting research studies, including study design, participant recruiting, and synthesis.
