At least two job openings have been spotted at Apple for Senior iOS Software Engineer with the job descriptions mentioning Siri, the personal assistant app in the iPhone 4S.

Everyone loves the service, but it’s also got some areas where it needs improving. And Apple wants to do just that.

The Mac maker says it is looking for “an engineer to join the team that implements the UI for Siri.”

This person will be primarily responsible for “implementing the conversation view and its many different actions,” reads the job advert.

Various tasks are outlined, including “defining a system that enables a dialog to appear intuitive.” This, according to Apple, will require “many subtle UI behaviors in a dynamic, complex system. You will have several clients of your code, so the ability to formulate and support a clear API is needed.”
