Job description

Our team builds the on-device software that makes iCloud work. In this role, you'll focus on building CloudKit — Our privacy-focused sync and storage system. CloudKit manages user data for most Apple apps, as well as many third-party apps. You'll design and build the frameworks and daemons that support both systems, working closely with engineering teams across the company who are adopting this technology—and with colleagues who build our client and server dependencies. A strong candidate will have experience and interest in Apple platforms, ready to tackle challenges like protocol design, interprocess communication, device resource management, API design, reliability, and performance. Since so much of the user experience depends on services, we're also looking for engineers who are passionate about complex distributed systems. We value thoughtful engineering, collaborative problem-solving, and shipping work we're proud of. You'll have opportunities to deepen your expertise in distributed systems, security, and platform engineering. 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong programming skills in Objective-C and/or Swift Experience building on Apple Platforms (macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, etc.) Experience in building system-level frameworks and APIs Excellent communication Bachelor's Degree in an engineering-related field or equivalent related experience Experience in Swift concurrency Experience with security, privacy, and cryptography concepts Experience with event-based programming or inter-process communication is a plus Proven track record of working on rapid development cycles and shipping software on tight schedules
