Job summary

Apple, Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, seeks a Senior Software Engineer for the G&A Solutions Engineering group. You will design and own config-driven platforms, emphasizing security, multi-tenant reliability, and API-first services across CI/CD pipelines.

This role requires deep backend skills, leadership potential, and hands-on contribution in complex distributed systems. Expect to work on event-driven architectures, automated testing, and AI-enabled tooling that enhances operator

Qualifications

• 5 years proven experience developing software in a professional capacity.
• 4 years proven experience with Java or Kotlin, including proficiency in concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization techniques.
• Proficiency in OOP principles, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns (e.g. GoF), with a proven focus on implementing testable, maintainable, and extensible backend code.
• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional work experience.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and own components of a configuration-driven platform, from design to production, hands-on, growing from well-scoped components to whole services.
• Make configuration safe to change: validated, versioned and previewable before release, with controlled promotion across environments and rollback.
• Build security, tenancy and privacy into the platform itself, so that unsafe access is impossible rather than left to caller discipline.
• Build event-driven services that handle high-concurrency, multi-tenant workloads reliably.
• Design APIs and contracts with clear versioning and compatibility checks, so consuming teams can build without coordination overhead.
• Help interdependent components behave as one system, respecting boundaries and contracts, and fixing issues that span components.
• Own correctness: write the tests that prove it, build quality gates into the delivery pipeline so every change, whether written by a person or an agent, is verified before it ships, and take part in code review.
• Diagnose and fix distributed-systems issues through to a root-cause fix.
• Operate what you ship: build observability in, deploy without downtime, and take a share of on-call.
• Work AI-natively: build with coding agents in an orchestrated workflow and verify their output with tests and review.
