Apple is seeking an experienced Senior iOS Software Engineer to contribute to the development of the next generation of cloud services infrastructure. The role focuses on designing and implementing key components of the iCloud platform while ensuring strong privacy guarantees for end users.

  • Experience building on Apple Platforms (macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, etc.)
  • Experience working with and building system-level frameworks and APIs
  • Experience working with client-server architectures and network protocols in a distributed system
  • Proven track record of working on rapid development cycles and shipping software on tight schedules
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Bachelor's degree, or above, in an engineering-related field or equivalent related experience
  • Experience with Swift concurrency
  • Experience with security, privacy, and cryptography concepts
  • Experience with event-based programming and/or inter-process communication is a plus
  • Ability to build relationships in highly cross-functional environments

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement key components of the iCloud platform.
  • Integrate novel capabilities into Apple's operating systems.
  • Collaborate with the CloudKit team and other teams on server components.
  • Establish foundations for secure and private cloud services.
  • Construct complex systems that can seamlessly recover from errors.

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.
