Software Engineer (Marcom Interactive Apps), Retail and Marcom Engineering

Imagine what you could build here at Apple.\n\nDo 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? \n\nOur 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.\n\nWe'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.\n\nAre 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? \n\nIf so, we'd like to talk.

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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nExperience with multi-user editing is valuable (real-time collaboration), but curiosity and willingness to learn matter much more.\n\nThe stack is broad and you'll get to move across all of it.
