You will work at the intersection of data engineering and generative AI, applying modern AI frameworks to improve workflows. Your contributions will involve designing and operating data workflows and analytical systems that provide insights into Apple's infrastructure fleet. This position requires a blend of curiosity, data-driven thinking, and full-stack development skills to create impactful tools for internal teams.

Requirements

  • Software engineering experience with a focus on data engineering, full-stack or backend development.
  • Foundational proficiency in SQL and Python.
  • Experience consuming and integrating with APIs.
  • Strong curiosity and a growth mindset, comfortable with new technologies.
  • Knowledge of programming languages such as Java, Swift, or Go.
  • Experience building full-stack internal tools with clean UIs and data-rich backends.
  • Familiarity with Generative AI and LLM concepts, including prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Experience with cloud-based deployment and observability tooling like Docker, AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment.
  • A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative discipline.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate data workflows and analytical systems.
  • Contribute to Python pipelines and connect systems through APIs.
  • Surface actionable insights through compelling dashboards and web-based tools.
  • Develop a full-stack sensibility to make data and insights accessible.
  • Explore and apply LLM-based tooling and modern AI frameworks.

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.
