SummaryPosted: Feb 12, 2025Role Number:200590921Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there’s no telling what you could accomplish. As part of Apple Cloud Services, our team is responsible for building libraries and frameworks which form the foundations of mission-critical systems at Apple. We write software in the Swift programming language and specialise in frameworks for distributed systems. Much of the software we produce is published as open source (such as SwiftNIO), as we firmly believe in growing a strong community. This combined with our drive to create amazing products makes the team a truly exciting place to work. We’re a collection of highly skilled and friendly engineers who value each other’s opinions and experience. We strive for excellence and believe strongly in the quality of our output. We have built a team of domain experts who specialize in specific core subject areas, and also have broad experience of cloud software services and platforms.DescriptionDescriptionYou will have significant responsibilities in building and improving libraries and SDKs for running large-scale, mission-critical services in Swift. You will have the chance to influence the direction of the platform and collaborate with multi-functional teams across Apple to help define, implement, and deliver functionality to help build the next generation of Apple Cloud Services. Our work takes us across multiple domains, from cloud services to iOS and macOS SDK development. The common thread for all of our development is a focus on the Swift programming language. If you have experience in any of these areas you can hit the ground running, but we believe that great engineers can learn these skills on the job. Successful candidates will have strong engineering skills and communication, as well as the ability to build relationships and collaborate across the company. You will have a real passion for quality, technical excellence, and an ability to understand complex systems. If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.Minimum QualificationsMinimum QualificationsExperience with standard software engineering tooling and workflows, including version control and code reviewStrong proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Java, Python, Swift, C/C++)Comfortable solving well-scoped problems using a preferred programming languageExperience learning new programming languagesA willingness to jump in and tackle new problemsKey QualificationsKey QualificationsPreferred QualificationsPreferred QualificationsYou should have a selection of skills and experience from the following list:Experience navigating ambiguity and leading initiatives or workstreamsExpertise in library design/API evolutionAsynchronous/streaming programming experience (e.g. Reactive Streams, Dispatch, Combine, or similar)Experience with implementing, debugging, and scaling network protocols.Experience with modern high-performance Linux networking technologies, including some or all of eBPF (with or without XDP), DPDK, and io_uring.Familiar with modern cryptography, including an understanding of the major categories of cryptographic primitives, how to safely use them, and what to avoid.Education & ExperienceEducation & ExperienceAdditional RequirementsAdditional RequirementsMore
