Job description

This role is for a software engineer on an engineering team focused on building next-generation health sensors and features. The position involves developing web-based monitoring and visualization platforms, ensuring high-quality data collection from health user studies, and improving usability for large-scale studies. You will work closely with researchers and engineers to understand their needs and enhance the tools used for health research. This position offers the opportunity to directly impact the development of health-related features in Apple products.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Informatics, or equivalent with relevant experience in biomedical or sensitive data.
  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong software development skills with proficiency in Python.
  • Experience integrating LLM-based functionality into production web tools.
  • Experience with backend web service development for data monitoring and visualization.
  • Demonstrated skill with distributed data processing systems such as PySpark and SparkSQL.
  • Experience leading design reviews and mentoring engineers.
  • Familiarity with technologies such as Delta Lake, AWS, and container orchestration.
  • Experience with tools such as Git, Docker, and Linux command line.
  • Experience working with sensitive or regulated data under strict privacy requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Build new web-based monitoring and visualization tools for health user studies.
  • Ensure the collection of high-quality data through robust data analysis pipelines.
  • Engage with stakeholders to gather requirements and prioritize improvements.
  • Leverage LLM-based workflows to enhance user experiences in study tools.
  • Lead design reviews and mentor other engineers in the team.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and solve user study problems.
  • Own the relationship between the platform and its users, ensuring their needs are met.

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.
