Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring your passion and dedication, and there's no telling what you can accomplish.
We're looking for a motivated software engineer to build the foundational networking technologies that power the internet and connect Apple devices to each other!
We need someone who's energized by working across the stack, designing ergonomic APIs, implementing protocols, tuning for performance and efficiency, and who enjoys collaborating with teams across the company to ship features that billions of people rely on every day.
The team works on Network Framework, the modern networking API used on every Apple platform: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. If you've ever made a request from an app on your iPhone, watched a movie on your Apple TV, handed off a webpage from your iPad to your Mac, or paired a new HomePod, you've used our technology! And if you've noticed your AirDrop go blazing fast when you plug in a USB cable, and continue over the internet when you walk away, that's our work too. We bridge every transport our devices speak, including Wi-Fi, Cellular, Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, and more, behind a single, modern, composable API that makes building great networking experiences feel intuitive and easy.
We work in Swift, alongside C, Objective-C, and C++, collaborating with teams across the company to deliver private, secure, and fast connectivity for everyone. The same work takes us into standards bodies across the industry, where we help shape the future of the internet's protocols themselves. Come build it with us.
Please join us in building the networking foundation that the Apple ecosystem depends on. The Applied Networking team is a passionate collection of engineers who care deeply about quality, performance, and the experience our APIs create for the developers and users who rely on them. Our work spans foundational internet protocols like TCP, UDP, TLS, QUIC, HTTP, and MASQUE, as well as the device-to-device connectivity that makes features like AirDrop, Continuity, Sidecar, and Wi-Fi password sharing feel magical. Our success depends on partnership, technical leadership, and diverse experiences.BS in Computer Science or equivalent Strong software design and development skills in Swift, Objective-C, C, or C++ Working understanding of peer-to-peer or client-server architectures and network protocols like TCP/IP and UDP Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to solve problems independently and thrive in a cross-functional environmentExperience with Swift, especially Structured Concurrency Experience implementing or working on networking protocols like TLS, QUIC, HTTP, or DNS Experience with performance engineering, including measuring, profiling, and tuning systems for latency, throughput, or efficiency Experience instrumenting complex systems with telemetry and using data to drive decisions Experience with distributed systems concepts
