The Developer Relations team is seeking a talented software engineer to serve as a technical liaison between Apple and the global developer community. This role focuses on mentoring developers and assisting them in building, debugging, and optimizing applications across various Apple platforms. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with Xcode and a strong understanding of modern Apple operating systems. This position is perfect for someone who enjoys collaboration and has a passion for sharing knowledge.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience developing apps for Apple platforms in Swift or Objective-C.
  • Proven experience developing native apps using Xcode, Swift, and Objective-C.
  • Strong familiarity with Apple developer workflows including application development, testing, and distribution.
  • Excellent debugging skills and capable of using Sysdiagnose, backtrace, LLDB, and Xcode Instruments.
  • In-depth experience with technologies such as Apple Push Notification service, Core Bluetooth, and Core Location.

Responsibilities

  • Guide third-party engineers in building, debugging, and optimizing apps across iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
  • Collaborate with developers to solve engineering challenges and improve app development processes.
  • Utilize SwiftUI and UIKit to build app experiences for various Apple platforms.
  • Take ownership of technology or problem spaces and actively engage with the developer community.
  • Ensure that the products shipped by developers meet Apple's high standards.

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.
