Job Description
Summary
Our team is on a mission to provide innovative infrastructure and tools that impact engineers’ work by making software easier to create, build, test, and distribute. We believe that streamlining software engineering is an important part of unlocking developer creativity and innovation, and we enjoy when Apple customers see that in the products we ship.
We are looking for an exceptional software engineer to bring their knowledge and real-world experience in areas like test execution parallelization, software testing approaches, cloud services, and build/test/integration systems to build solutions that will directly improve the quality and velocity of developing software across Apple.
We believe that every engineer brings unique skills and perspective. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for engineers who want to build great reliable software and services, learn and develop their skills, and ultimately enable others to develop amazing applications. You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology, and have fun while doing so.

Description
Our team works on evolving a set of innovative tools and services that directly affect the productivity of Apple’s developers. You’ll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established techniques related to large-scale test execution, enabling developers to work efficiently at a high standard of quality. You’ll analyze requirements, constraints, and existing foundational elements to inform high-level architectural solutions that achieve high performance at scale, reliability, and long-term maintainability. Once solutions are identified, you will work alongside our team to implement them while developing appropriate testing and operational mechanisms.
You will be most successful here as a flexible and proactive engineer who thrives in a supportive, respectful, and balanced work environment with interesting and challenging problems to tackle. You have excellent judgement and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions. You know how to drive constructive discussion of design points, learn from your team, and use your experience to advocate and teach others.
In your role as an engineer on our team you will:
- Spend a majority of your time working to build tools and services that improve developer productivity and contributing to operational and engineering standards used across the organization.
- Collaborate with your teammates to help refine problem requirements and work with teams to implement long lasting solutions.
- Engage with other teams to help identify issues and establish long term relationships that include knowledge sharing.
- Provide valuable feedback loops to engineering teams backed by application metrics and log data.
- Drive areas of service scalability (resiliency, redundancy, performance) by collaborating in planning meetings.
- Develop expertise and be given ownership over components critical to Apple’s success.
- Contribute to engineering high-performance systems through algorithm design, optimization, and performance testing.
- Design new ways to scale Apple’s distributed developer tools and services to ever increasing problem sizes.
- Analyze and improve the operability of our services and tools.
- Have access to the engineers who create Apple’s full technology, tools, and operating systems stack.
HERE YOU’LL FIND THAT WE:
- Have a wide range of experience, from new engineers to Apple veterans.
- Provide a relaxed work environment where you can choose when to socialize and when to dig into your projects.
- Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture.
- Encourage you to use accrued vacation time and maintain a healthy work-life balance!
- Offer excellent benefits.
