Job description

This position is within the Apple Ads group, focusing on building innovative advertising solutions that enhance user experiences while maintaining privacy. The role emphasizes systems and platform engineering, requiring expertise in cross-process communication and concurrency. Candidates will work on on-device systems that deliver ads across the Apple ecosystem, ensuring compliance with ad policies and user privacy. This is not a UI or app-building role, but rather one that involves deep technical knowledge and collaboration with various teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • Deep understanding of OS fundamentals including process and memory management, scheduling, and file systems.
  • Professional software development experience in a C-like language.
  • Familiarity with cross-process communication.
  • Advanced understanding of concurrent programming concepts and design patterns.
  • Experience building and operating high-performance client SDKs or libraries.
  • Experience with complex, long-lived codebases, including legacy components.

Responsibilities

  • Develop on-device systems that fetch, rank, and filter ad candidates.
  • Enforce ad policy and legal compliance within the advertising framework.
  • Protect user privacy before partner apps render content.
  • Collaborate with teams to design and maintain public APIs or SDKs for external developers.
  • Quickly learn new technologies and communicate effectively with team members.

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.
