The Services Developer Experience team at Apple is seeking a talented Software Engineer to develop AI-powered developer tooling that enhances the software development lifecycle. This role focuses on creating intelligent agents that improve the efficiency and quality of development processes. Engineers will work on building production-grade AI systems that assist with code generation, testing, and deployment. The position requires collaboration with project managers and cross-functional partners to deliver resilient and performant systems.
Requirements
- 2+ years of industry experience building backend systems.
- Strong programming skills in Java and Python.
- Experience developing AI agents using libraries such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack or Claude Agent SDK.
- Background in integrating AI systems into developer tools or productivity platforms.
- Experience with databases (relational and/or NoSQL) and scalable service architectures.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Passion for developer experience and empathy for building tools that empower other engineers.
- Experience with TypeScript and frontend development.
- Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and LLM libraries (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face).
- Experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration and deployment.
- Experience with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka) and microservices architectures.
- Knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems principles.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement intelligent agents that transform the software development lifecycle.
- Create tools that serve both human developers and autonomous agents.
- Establish patterns for AI-assisted workflows that scale across teams.
- Build production-grade AI systems that handle code generation, automated review, intelligent testing, and deployment orchestration.
- Collaborate closely with project managers and cross-functional partners to translate requirements into resilient systems.
- Tackle challenges spanning distributed systems, developer tooling infrastructure, and AI agent orchestration.
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.
