Apple•Austin, TX

About The Position

This position sits within the Manufacturing Design and Environmental Systems teams. Our team builds the applications that enable Apple to manufacture every product we ship — it's high impact work at the core of Apple's operations. You'll be someone who anticipates problems without over-architecting solutions, and who can distill complex challenges into clear, simple outcomes. We care about code that works correctly, performs well, and is easy for the next person to understand. That means writing tests, giving substantive feedback in code review, and debugging production issues when they arise using monitoring and logging tools. If you're not already writing Elixir, you'll grow into it — we'll support that learning, but genuine curiosity about functional programming is a prerequisite for enjoying the work here. You’ll be building and maintaining features in close collaboration with product designers, domain experts, and other engineers. We involve engineers early in the design process, so you'll regularly help translate complex operational workflows into clear, maintainable software rather than just executing specs.

Requirements

6+ years in a senior software role working across the entire web stack with a skilled team
5+ years writing production JavaScript or TypeScript single page apps using React or similar framework with comfort working across the stack: you can pick up a SQL query, an API endpoint, and a UI component in the same day
4+ years building and maintaining robust HTTP API's and backend services
4+ years developing complex applications with SQL based database solutions (PostgreSQL, MySQL etc.) at medium scale
Familiarity with functional programming concepts — whether through Elixir, Haskell, Clojure, Scala, or just a strong interest in learning them
Discipline in writing tests and a genuine interest in code quality and maintainability
