In this role, you'll design, build, and maintain the systems that install and update Xcode and its components. Our team is driving innovation in software distribution tools that will dramatically improve developer productivity — and you'll help shape what comes next.

You'll evaluate technologies, understand customer needs, and implement systems that enhance developer productivity. You'll have the opportunity to influence technical direction and drive improvements to how Apple's developer tools are delivered.
We're looking for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals — someone who writes clear, well-tested code and thinks carefully about system design, reliability, and maintainability. Curiosity matters here: you'll encounter unfamiliar problem spaces regularly, and we value people who dig in, ask good questions, and learn quickly.
Our team has a wide range of engineering backgrounds and experience levels. We foster an encouraging, growth-focused culture where people support each other, share knowledge openly, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
