Job description

We're a small team with a big footprint. Our internal tools serve as the operational backbone of Apple's beta and feedback programs, and engineers in this role can expect to touch nearly every layer of them — application, API, and database — often within the same week. You'll tackle broad-context challenges, such as: * Building and extending applications for managing participants, content, permissions, and configuration across a large and evolving schema * Designing data processing flows to move feedback through its lifecycle * Contributing to our feedback reading, reporting, and analysis systems, in close collaboration with our ML team as those systems adopt ML-powered features and async processing Because you'll be seated with the Engineering Program Managers who rely on these tools day in and day out, you'll see firsthand how your work lands, catch friction early, and shape the roadmap alongside the people feeling the pain points — not just the engineering team. An ideal candidate is energized by variety. You should be excited to pick up whichever stack a project calls for, and just as comfortable reasoning about a SQL schema as building the UI on top of it. We're equally excited by a sharp, ambitious engineer early in their career and by a veteran generalist with breadth across multiple domains. 3-5+ years industry experience in software development Technical/Engineering BS or equivalent industry experience Solid, hands-on coding fundamentals across at least one backend and one client/frontend stack Openness to working in Swift and Ruby specifically, regardless of prior depth in either Strong SQL and relational data modeling skills Comfortable and adaptable in a fast-paced and informal environment, able to respond to changing priorities quickly Enjoys working in close, daily partnership with users Comfortable moving between projects rather than specializing in a single layer — you think of yourself as a software engineer, not strictly backend or frontend Passion for continually learning and exploring new technologies Experience using Claude or other agentic coding tools to prototype, implement, and test Excellent collaborative skills, with strong written and verbal communication
