Systems Software Engineer (Core OS)

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. As part of the Core IO Networking & Sensors Architecture team, you will be working on the platform code that drives our operating systems on iPhones/iPads/Apple Watch/Mac. We deliver a unified solution to the entire company, redefining cross-functional collaboration. Our team develops daemons, frameworks, certification test suites, command line tools and even some UI components that run across all Apple platforms.

The role focuses on contributing to Apple's firmware update solutions, primarily working with middleware frameworks and daemons. You'll be using programming languages like C, Objective-C and Swift, though expertise in all three isn't required - proficiency in at least one and willingness to learn is key. A basic knowledge of low-level programming/kernel and I/O (USB, Bluetooth, Ethernet, Inductive, etc.) would be beneficial as it relates to how accessories connect to devices.

We're seeking a motivated engineer with excellent programming, problem-solving and communication skills. You'll join a team that delivers critical infrastructure used across all Apple products, working in a collaborative environment that values innovation and technical excellence. The position offers competitive compensation ($135,400-$250,600), comprehensive benefits including medical/dental coverage, stock options, and educational reimbursement opportunities.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on foundational software that powers millions of Apple devices worldwide, making a direct impact on user experience through reliable and efficient system operations. You'll be part of a team that values diversity of thought and approaches, working together to create solutions that enhance Apple's ecosystem.
