Software Engineering Manager, Apps SDK

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. The Applications SDK team is looking for a Software Engineering Manager to help drive forward the development of multiple native client frameworks used in dozens of Apple-produced applications on iOS, macOS, and visionOS.
