Software Engineer - SWE Ops Infrastructure & Planning

Imagine building web applications that keep Apple running.

Do you like taking ownership of products end-to-end, from how they look and feel to how they scale in production? Have you cared deeply about performance, accessibility, and shipping polished experiences that people depend on every day?

Our team builds and maintains critical web applications for operations, employee engagement, events, education, and community. We own them completely: the front-end interfaces, the data layer that powers them, the pipeline that ships them, and the on-call responsibility that keeps them running. Were a small, high-impact team with broad surface area, and we need engineers who thrive in that environment.

Are you drawn to building products that make Apple more efficient and connected? Do you love the intersection of front-end craft, full-stack thinking, performance, and accessibility? Do you want to own meaningful applications and help shape how your team grows?

If so, wed like to talk. This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership. Youll design, build, and maintain web applications across our full stack, making decisions about architecture, performance, and user experience. Youll work across React, Next.js, and TypeScript on the front end, integrate with back-end services and APIs, and own the build and delivery pipeline that keeps our applications live and healthy.

Our applications span both internal and external audiences in the machine learning communications space: internal tools that support review and approval workflows, and public-facing experiences that publish rich, data-driven content to a broader audience.

The role is full-stack in the truest sense. Youll move fluidly across the entire surface: front-end interfaces and components, data fetching and state management, back-end integration, and deployment infrastructure. Youll also mentor and learn from teammates, make technical judgments independently, and help set the bar for quality and craft on your team. Youll be building products that are robust, performant, accessible, and a pleasure to use and maintain.Own the design, implementation, and maintenance of web applications end-to-end, from conception through production and support Build performant, accessible interfaces held to a high bar for quality and user experience Use modern AI tooling thoughtfully as part of how you plan, document, and build new applications Architect and maintain the data layer connecting front ends to back-end services and APIs Design and implement the build, test, and delivery pipeline that ships applications safely and iteratively Make technical decisions independently, choosing technologies, patterns, and approaches that balance craft with pragmatism Collaborate closely with designers, product partners, and cross-functional stakeholders Help maintain the health and performance of deployed applications5+ years of professional software engineering experience Experience shipping and maintaining production web applications with React and Next.js Strong proficiency with TypeScript, HTML, and CSS Experience using GenAI when writing code, tests, PR reviews, documentation, and more Hands-on experience with full-stack web development: building front ends, integrating with back-end services and APIs, and understanding deployment and infrastructure concerns Demonstrated ability to take ownership, work independently, and make sound technical decisions BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experienceStrong, deep experience with modern React patterns (hooks, context, state management libraries) and Next.js App Router Experience with server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and modern rendering strategies Comfortable working across the stack: databases, back-end services, APIs, and deployment infrastructure Experience building and shipping data-driven front ends against complex back-end systems Expertise in automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end, visual regression) Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems, observability tools, and shipping applications safely and iteratively Experience with design systems, component libraries, and accessibility best practices A growth mindset: comfort learning new technologies and helping others do the same Care for the craft of software development, thoughtful about architecture, maintainability, and long-term health of codebases A design sensibility and an eye for performance, accessibility, and user experience Experience mentoring and helping junior engineers grow
