Senior Software Engineer, Developer Productivity, Sensing & Connectivity
Summary
Senior engineer on Apple's internal developer productivity team in San Diego, building and owning the CI/CD and integration infrastructure that engineers across Apple use to build, integrate, and ship software across release trains and hardware platforms. Work centers on distributed build systems, git workflows, and scripting in languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.
Our team builds the foundational systems that engineers across Apple rely on to build, integrate, and ship software — an integration system that gives developers the power to manage changes across a wide range of release trains and hardware platforms. This role gives you the opportunity to own and define strategy, not just execute against someone else's roadmap: how we increase engineering velocity, reduce manual effort, and raise the bar on quality, across every team that depends on us.
We are looking for someone who can handle ambiguity and shifting priorities well, and treat change as a chance to add structure rather than a disruption. Enjoy working regularly with engineers across many different teams. Find real satisfaction in knowing the tools you build are critical to how engineering teams ship software to customers. Are always looking for smarter, more effective ways to solve problems.

- You're experienced in the planning, design, implementation, integration, test, and maintenance phases of software development, with a solid understanding of developer workflows.
- You use AI-assisted tools to write, debug, and ship code effectively, and can speak to how they've changed your workflow.
