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

**Weekly Hours:** 40

**Role Number:** 200641979-3956

**Summary**

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.

The stack is broad and you'll get to move across all of it.

**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

+ BS in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent job-related experience

**Preferred Qualifications**

+ Experience with SwiftUI

+ Familiarity with server-side Swift (Vapor framework)

+ Familiarity with Java or Kotlin and Spring Boot for backend services

+ Familiarity with WebSocket-based communication

+ Strong experience with React, including hooks, context, and modern React patterns

+ Experience designing APIs that other engineers build on

+ Care for the craft of software development beyond just shipping features

+ Experience with operational transform, CRDTs, or real-time synchronization systems
