Apple is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to contribute to the development of the next generation of cloud services infrastructure. You will be responsible for designing and implementing key components of the i Cloud platform, integrating novel fundamental capabilities deeply into the core of Apple's operating systems.

Description

Our team is responsible for building the on-device software that makes i Cloud work.

This system underlies many Apple Intelligence features. We need an engineer to design and build the frameworks and daemons that support Private Cloud Compute; to work closely with other engineering teams around the company who are adopting this technology, and with our colleagues who build dependencies on the client and the server.
