Network Framework and Device Connectivity Engineer
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.
