Summary
The Device Management Core team owns the technologies which enable device management tools, from both Apple and many third-parties, to remotely manage millions of Apple devices every day. We are looking for a committed, highly competent engineer to contribute to current and future applications of device management technologies, helping to enable our customers to manage Apple devices for their users.
Description
The ideal candidate possesses the strong technical knowledge and collaboration and communication skills necessary for success as a self-directed, motivated member of our team. A passion for elegant design, innovative technologies, and continuously improving one's skills are also important success factors. In this role you will work on a variety of technologies including user interfaces, networking protocols, and interprocess communication. You will be working in an engineering team responsible for key Apple technologies that serve the needs of education and business customers. The opportunities within our group continue to grow and now is a wonderful time to become a part of it. Take advantage of this opportunity to contribute your enthusiasm and expertise while learning from a community of dedicated engineers.
As a member of the Device Management team you will have the opportunity to influence product features, implement new OS-level functionality, and work cross-functionally with many other teams across Apple to design and implement solutions to the problems that organizations face, without compromising the Apple end-user experience. Device Management is the layer within iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS which is relied upon by system components for managing settings locally as well as handling communication with device management tools like Apple Configurator and MDM servers. Because most system components need to be managed in some way, the Device Management team interacts with different engineering teams across the company, from Apple's App Store apps to low-level OS infrastructure. Apple's commitment to developing innovative solutions for education and enterprise has never been stronger and we have more exciting features in the works. If you are excited about enabling the use of the latest Apple devices and technology in schools and businesses around the world, come join our team and make a difference!
