Software Engineer - Infrastructure,SWE Developer Foundations
The SWE Developer Foundations organisation builds technologies and tools to help software engineers at Apple to do the best work of their lives. Our team supports that mission by building innovative infrastructure and tools to provide engineers with capabilities to quickly & efficiently build and test their changes, supporting both the development lifecycle of their changes, as well as the end-customer product. We are looking for distributed systems engineers to join our efforts. You'll work on profiling, improving & extending large-scale novel build and distributed systems to meet the needs of Apple's operating system engineers. If you have an interest in system software, cloud services, or developer tooling, then we have many exciting problems to work on! You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology and have fun while doing so. We are applying unique and innovative ideas to old problems and welcome new contributors who are excited by the opportunity to significantly impact the shape and direction of our product.
