We're looking for a senior software engineer who writes clean, well-tested TypeScript and is genuinely curious about functional programming. You'll work across two production applications, one in Node.js and one in Elixir, building features used daily by the engineers and operations teams who design and manufacture Apple's products.
You should be someone who gets energized by learning new paradigms. We work in a small, high-trust team where good judgment matters as much as technical depth, and where AI-assisted development is part of how we work.
This position sits within the Manufacturing Design and Environmental Systems teams.
Our team builds the applications that enable Apple to manufacture every product we ship — it's high impact work at the core of Apple's operations. You'll be someone who anticipates problems without over-architecting solutions, and who can distill complex challenges into clear, simple outcomes. We care about code that works correctly, performs well, and is easy for the next person to understand. That means writing tests, giving substantive feedback in code review, and debugging production issues when they arise using monitoring and logging tools. If you're not already writing Elixir, you'll grow into it — we'll support that learning, but genuine curiosity about functional programming is a prerequisite for enjoying the work here.
You’ll be building and maintaining features in close collaboration with product designers, domain experts, and other engineers. We involve engineers early in the design process, so you'll regularly help translate complex operational workflows into clear, maintainable software rather than just executing specs.
