INTRODUCTION
Apple is where individual imaginations gather together to do great work.

We’d love to work with you.
DESCRIPTION
This team nurtures state-of-the-art intelligence ideas into powerful, usable features and systems. We work with the latest AI research and our talented research teams to build innovative implementations of those ideas on Apple platforms. We discuss, debate, and iterate to quickly find out what works, what doesn’t, and what will make of the most magical user experience. We’re a small, nimble team, with varied skills, that collaborates to make the best products.
Responsibilities
- Research, discuss, and debate the latest in intelligence capabilities across the industry, and the ways those capabilities could form the foundation of future Apple features and products.
- Collaborate with ML/AI engineers, systems engineers, and designers to build functional prototypes.
- Be able to quickly build an idea so you and the team can work with hands-on products. Then iterate on the best of those prototypes.
- Build things that you may not be convinced are the best direction or where there may not be clear precedent. Being able to compare, contrast, and discuss all ideas will help bring the best ones forward.
- Work well in the spaces between Design, engineering, and research, to create magical user experiences.
- Craft systems and UIs that work for demoing new ideas, but also provide mechanisms to observe and debug how these systems behave.
- Help define frameworks for how UI in AI systems should work.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of proven experience in software development. Ideally on Apple platforms.
- Strong proficiency in Swift and/or Objective-C.
- Deep experience with at least one major Apple UI framework: SwiftUI, UIKit, or AppKit.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Demonstrated interest or experience in AI systems, or integrating AI features into existing systems.
- Experience building experiences with dynamic and fluid UI.
- BS, MS, or PhD in software engineering or a related field like interaction design.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UI Engineer
Align your portfolio with specialty occupation standards
TN approval for UI engineering hinges on demonstrating that the role requires a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Curate your portfolio to show systems-level thinking, not just visual output. Officers evaluate the technical complexity of the work, not the aesthetics.
Request a Computer Systems Analyst job title
TN visa petitions for UI engineers succeed most reliably under the Computer Systems Analyst occupational category. Ask your prospective employer to frame the offer letter around systems analysis and technical architecture duties, since ambiguous titles like 'designer' can trigger a closer review at the border.
Use Migrate Mate to find roles at sponsorship-experienced employers
Targeting employers experienced with visa sponsorship shortens your search significantly. Migrate Mate surfaces Senior UI Engineer roles from companies with recent visa filings, so you spend less time cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with work authorization processes.
Prepare a credential evaluation before Canadian border crossing
If your computer science degree is from a Mexican university, carry a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator confirming U.S. equivalency. Canadian border officers expect this documentation for applicants whose degrees may not map directly to U.S. four-year bachelor's programs.
Verify the employer's E-Verify enrollment before accepting an offer
Some STEM-focused employers require E-Verify enrollment as a condition of employment for TN workers. Confirming enrollment early prevents delays after your start date and signals the employer has prior experience onboarding USMCA professionals, which often means a smoother filing process for you.
Negotiate a remote-friendly offer letter to broaden your employer pool
TN status ties you to a specific employer, not a specific work location. If your Senior UI Engineer role allows remote work, confirm that the offer letter names the employer's registered U.S. address as your primary worksite so CBP officers don't flag location ambiguity at entry.

Find Senior UI Engineer JobsSenior UI Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UI Engineer role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, Senior UI Engineer roles can qualify under the TN visa's Computer Systems Analyst category when the position requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a closely related field. The offer letter must describe duties that involve systems analysis and technical architecture, not primarily graphic or product design work. Roles where the degree requirement is ambiguous or where design duties dominate can face additional scrutiny.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for Senior UI Engineers?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can start working as soon as CBP approves your entry. H-1B requires registration in a random lottery held once per year, and selection is not guaranteed. For Senior UI Engineers with a qualifying computer science degree and a U.S. job offer, TN is typically faster and more predictable. The trade-off is that TN does not lead directly to permanent residence, while H-1B is a dual-intent visa.
Where can I find Senior UI Engineer jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking TN visa sponsorship in the U.S. You can search Senior UI Engineer roles filtered by employers with recent visa filings, which removes the guesswork of identifying companies already experienced with work visa sponsorship. Generic job boards don't filter by employer sponsorship experience, so you'd otherwise need to screen each employer manually.
Can Mexican citizens get TN sponsorship for Senior UI Engineer roles, and is the process different from Canada?
Yes, Mexican citizens are eligible for TN status, but the process differs from the Canadian pathway. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate in Mexico for a TN visa stamp before traveling, rather than seeking approval at a port of entry. The documentary requirements are the same: a qualifying job offer, proof of citizenship, and credentials demonstrating a relevant bachelor's degree. Processing times depend on consulate appointment availability.
What happens to my TN status if I change employers mid-year as a Senior UI Engineer?
TN status is employer-specific, so changing jobs requires a new TN petition tied to your new employer before you begin work. Canadian citizens can apply for a new TN at a port of entry the same day they leave their current employer, which makes transitions faster than most other visa categories. Mexican citizens need to schedule a new consulate appointment. You can maintain status continuity as long as you don't start working for the new employer before the new TN is approved.
