Job description

Apple is seeking a Software Development Engineer to contribute to its internal device cloud, which supports all hardware, software, and services. The role involves working with a high-performing software development team focused on building lifecycle management software for Apple silicon servers. This position offers the opportunity to engage with new products and features while ensuring existing ones maintain high standards. The engineer will collaborate across various engineering organizations, gaining exposure to the latest server software features from concept to integration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in an engineering-related field or equivalent industry experience
  • At least two years of industry experience in building production-grade backend systems at scale
  • Familiarity with programming languages suited for backend programming such as Golang, C, C++, Rust, or Swift
  • Strong foundation in Operating System Fundamentals, Systems Programming, Networking (HTTP, TCP, DNS, TLS), and Distributed System Design
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain lifecycle management software for Apple silicon servers
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate new features into the operating system
  • Manage projects from low-level technical design to user interface and experience
  • Engage in low-level system debugging involving serial, RPC, and networking subsystems
  • Work with prototypes of Apple silicon server hardware from initial phases to launch

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
