Swift Software Engineer, SWE Program Tools
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. There are more than two billion active Apple devices worldwide and we are striving for a billion more. Come join a small team of highly-focused engineers who are working to make that possible. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on internal applications and services that play a critical role in how Apple develops and delivers high-quality operating systems.
Description
As an engineer on our team, you will iterate quickly to create, maintain, and improve applications that empower the day-to-day work of tens of thousands of Apple employees. You’ll spend most of your time writing code, reviewing contributions from others, and collaboratively designing technical solutions.
We obsess over the user experience. We strongly value creative problem-solving and continuous improvement. When we find a great technical or process solution, we adopt and adapt it across our projects. Being disciplined about our day-to-day work gives us the freedom to respond flexibly and creatively to new challenges.
This role is for a passionate early-career engineer with strong problem-solving skills, commitment to quality, and ability to learn quickly on the job. Our work requires significant interaction with our users, cross-functional partners, and leaders across Apple, so excellent communication and collaboration skills are required in addition to technical skills.

- Experience creating a model-based user-facing feature, including driving a decision that shaped its behavior and making a cost, latency, or quality tradeoff based on your own evaluation
- Proven experience turning an ambiguous problem into a strong technical approach and implementation, including deciding what was in and out of scope and coordinating priorities with others
- Built and shared a project that no one assigned you, and can explain what problem you were solving and what you'd do differently next time

- Excellent communication and collaborative skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and building intuitive experiences for applications, with a focus on simplifying complex workflows
