Job Description

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, creative ideas have a way of becoming wonderful products, services, and customer experiences very quickly.

Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish.

The Manufacturing Design team enables the mass production of Apple's entire product line from iPhones, iPads and MacBooks to the Mac Pro, AppleTV and Apple Watch. Part of the magic that makes all of this possible is a robust set of applications and systems designed and developed by Apple that support the production of a product from prototype to announcement and beyond. We are seeking an experienced Backend Software Engineer to join our growing team in India.

Description

In this role, you will leverage your backend engineering expertise to build and optimize robust, high-performance systems that support Apple's global manufacturing operations.

You'll work closely with global teams to develop solutions that streamline production management processes, ensuring Apple's products are manufactured at scale with uncompromising quality.

This role requires skills similar to backend web development, but you'll apply those skills to factory systems that assist the work of robots and humans alike.

  • Experience with asynchronous processing and message queues (e.g., Kafka).
  • Familiarity with distributed systems.
  • Solid experience with automated testing, continuous integration, code reviews, and pair programming.
  • Bachelors / Masters degree in Computer Science / IT from a reputed school.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with data-intensive applications and data engineering concepts (ETL, data warehousing, stream processing).
  • Experience with other backend languages (e.g. Python, Java, or Node.js).
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., LLM-based coding assistants, automated code generation) to accelerate engineering workflows.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable and well-documented code.
  • A proactive approach to identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks and scalability issue.
  • Good communication skills both in written and spoken.
  • Manufacturing experience or exposure is a plus, but not required.
