Job description

Summary

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.

Would you like to work in a fast-paced environment where your technical abilities are challenged daily? If so, Apple's AI & Data Platforms team is seeking a Software Engineer to develop high-performance data applications that deliver business-critical metrics and insights with minimal latency and exceptional user experience. You'll build rich, interactive applications that combine analytics with cutting-edge Generative AI capabilities to make complex data accessible and actionable.

We're looking for a team member who can think outside the box and has a genuine passion for building highly scalable data apps with end users in focus. You'll engage directly with key business partners to understand business strategies and solution needs. You'll drive and lead functional & technical discussions with development teams and be expected to design and own end-to-end applications.

Description

We seek a dynamic problem-solver who thrives on complex challenges and crafts innovative solutions. The ideal candidate excels in collaborative environments and consistently delivers exceptional software within demanding timelines.

In this role, you'll architect solutions that seamlessly blend open source technologies with Apple's proprietary infrastructure. You'll own the complete development lifecycle—from initial concept through production deployment—designing, implementing, testing, and shipping features on a consistent release schedule. Through close partnership with internal stakeholders, you'll deeply understand their needs and workflows, then champion platform enhancements and new capabilities that transform their user experience.

Success in this position requires strong self-direction, intrinsic motivation, and the ability to drive results autonomously while maintaining alignment with team objectives.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience in application development with an in-depth understanding of data structures and algorithms.
• Good expertise with ReactJS ( or other Javascript frameworks like AngularJS, Vue JS ) and experience working with NodeJS
• Experience in developing rich user interface using HTML5 and CSS3.
• Experience developing restful service layer components using Java or Python.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands on experience with relational databases
• Demonstrated knowledge and experience in Software Engineering processes, including test driven development
• Excellent problem solving and critical thinking with excellent ability to evaluate and apply new technologies in a short time.
• Familiarity with foundational concepts in Generative AI (e.g., Large Language Models, prompt engineering)
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

At Apple, we believe accessibility is a fundamental human right. You’ll find that idea reflected in everything here — in our culture, our benefits and our digital tools. By welcoming as many perspectives as possible, we help you build a career where you feel like you belong.
