Apple; Dublin; On-site; EUR 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Apple is seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Dublin to architect and develop large-scale web applications across frontend and backend components. You will own end-to-end delivery, guide architecture decisions, and collaborate with design, product, and operations teams in a fast-paced environment.

• Drive features through their full lifecycle: from concept and design through deployment and operational excellence
• Apply and help raise engineering best practices across the full stack — frontend architecture, API design, testing strategies, and performance
• Identify technical risks and dependencies early; develop mitigation strategies and drive resolution
• Mentor and share knowledge with colleagues across both frontend and backend disciplines
• Contribute to cross-organization initiatives, expanding your impact beyond the immediate team
• Partner with product managers and stakeholders to inform roadmap priorities and technical direction
• Lead post-incident reviews and drive improvements in reliability and operational quality
• Evaluate and integrate AI services and capabilities — such as MCP-based tooling — to enhance the user experience
