Sonic Summary

info
  • Apple is seeking an experienced engineer to enhance the developer experience for their creative engineering organization.
  • Candidates should have a minimum of 8 years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on Xcode and iOS development.
  • The role involves owning tools, workflows, and practices that support engineering teams, identifying and addressing high-impact problems.
  • Preferred qualifications include experience with developer-facing tooling, engineering team processes, and acting as a technical program lead.
  • The salary for this position is competitive and commensurate with experience.
At Apple, how well a creative engineering organization runs and evolves is by design. Our artists and engineers work at the cutting edge of many disciplines and technologies, and the developer experience behind them — the tools, the systems, the workflows — has to evolve just as quickly, so that teams building complex, multifaceted creative projects can amplify their creativity and ship with confidence. This is an ideal role for an engineer who has spent time on both sides of delivery — writing the code, and shaping how the work gets done — and wants a role where both of those skills count.

Description


In this role, you'll own the rapidly evolving developer experience: the tools, the workflows, and the day-to-day practices our engineers build with. You'll identify the highest-impact problems and address them through tooling changes, process changes, or direct conversations. Finding the right fix for each problem is your responsibility. You'll report directly to the org leader with their full support. Working closely with multiple specialized engineering teams, you'll own the systems, workflows, and approaches that help them reach their goals. You won't be starting from scratch: tooling and delivery reporting already exist and are in active use, and you'll determine where they go and what to build next.

Minimum Qualifications


8+ years of professional software engineering experience. Experience with Xcode and iOS Development. Experience building internal or customer-facing tools that solve real problems. Experience with build systems, continuous integration, or automated test infrastructure.

Preferred Qualifications


Experience building developer-facing tooling that engineering teams use daily. Experience changing how an engineering team works: ownership models, review practices, quality gates. Experience owning delivery across teams as a technical program lead, or in a role that combined engineering with program ownership. Fluency with current agent architecture patterns, and a track record of adapting as they change.
