- Demonstrable experience working with a customer-first mindset, collaborating constantly with UX, product, and stakeholders to solve our users’ problems every day

- You will architect, develop and ship features with your cross-functional product and UX partners, as well as your fellow software engineers
- You will also be expected to participate in the feature design process with our lean and talented team, drive new functionality, contribute to architectural and performance improvements, and overall bring your best every day to our team
- User engagement, feature ideas, roadmap planning, and technical discussions are very much a team sport in our organization, and we want you to come with opinions, best practices, and great ideas
- Plan, develop, and ship new features alongside UX, product, and your fellow developers and designers, as well as users and stakeholders

- Hold yourself and your team members accountable to the high standards of design, quality, and execution that exist at Apple
Our take
With a market capitalisation that reached $3 trillion in 2022, Apple is the world's most valuable company. A vertically integrated approach and obsessive focus on the user experience have helped to make Apple one of the most successful companies in the world.
Since taking over at Apple, Tim Cook has been carefully curating the company's reputation as a champion of consumer privacy, trying to set the company apart from others that monetise their users' data.
The company even went as far as to introduce sweeping privacy changes which made it difficult to tailor ads to Apple’s 1bn+ iPhone users. This rocked the $400bn digital ads market, seriously harming the revenue of its bigger rivals in the lucrative industry and forcing them to rebuild their ad infrastructure.
Despite this, the company has been shaken by supply chain issues and moved a considerable amount of its manufacturing from China to India, and increased its Vietnam presence. This is because of multi-pronged production disruption in China, the second largest customer market for Apple, and triggered an estimated 10% revenue drop in the first quarter of 2023.
