We are seeking a Senior Tools Engineer to help build intelligent internal platforms, automation frameworks, and developer tools that improve quality, and engineering productivity across Apple Ads.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building AI/LLM-powered internal tooling and automation systems across mobile, backend, API, and data platform ecosystems. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building scalable automation, developer infrastructure, and full-stack engineering platforms.

Description

In this role, you will help build AI/LLM-powered internal tools that help to continuously understand signals across products, detecting risk patterns early, and enabling autonomous validation and recovery workflows.
