Imagine what you could build here at Apple.
Do you like building software for people who build software? Have you ever used a collaborative editing application and considered what it takes to make that feel instant and seamless?
Our team builds a content authoring platform that creative teams use to collaborate in real-time. We also build the framework that lets other Apple engineers extend our platform, creating new capabilities that their end users rely on.
We're a small team with a broad surface area. A native macOS app, the cloud backend that powers it, and the framework that drives our plugin ecosystem.
Are you drawn to the intersection of native macOS development, real-time backend systems, developer experience, and end-user product? Do you love working in multiple languages?
If so, we'd like to talk.
Description
This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll work on a native macOS app, the cloud backend that powers it, and a React framework for building plugins.
The work is full-stack in the truest sense. Native Swift and SwiftUI for the app. Cloud services on the backend (Swift / Kotlin / Node). And a plugin framework built in React that lets other Apple engineers extend what we build.
Experience with multi-user editing is valuable (real-time collaboration), but curiosity and willingness to learn matter much more.

Care for the craft of software development beyond just shipping features
Experience with operational transform, CRDTs, or real-time synchronization systems
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of experience in software engineering
Experience with native macOS or iOS development
Experience with backend development
Proficiency with at least two: Swift, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Ruby
