Apple • Austin, TX

About The Position

We're looking for full stack engineers who are passionate about web technology, developer experience, and building powerful tools to join our small and fast-moving team. This role focuses on delivering the next generation of advanced asset delivery systems - from memory-smart backend services to browser-optimized features like animations, colors, and variable states. We're creating infrastructure and tools that empower web developers across the company to build visually stunning, performant applications with minimal effort. Every engineer on our team contributes to shaping the product direction and technical foundation. More than any specific language or framework experience, we value curiosity, initiative, and a drive to explore what's next in the world of web tooling. If you enjoy solving hard problems, prototyping new ideas, and working closely with top-tier designers - this is a chance to make a big impact early. As an engineer on this team, you'll invent and build cutting-edge web asset technology that powers the visual experience across Apple's web applications. You'll design backend systems in Fastify that deliver dynamic, high-performance assets at scale, and prototype frontend features using React, SVG, CSS, and modern web APIs to explore new forms of animation, interactivity, and visual state. You'll work closely with designers to bring their vision to life - and you'll contribute your own - iterating through ideas and prototypes to arrive at high-impact solutions. The work you ship will be used by developers across the company and seen by millions of end users in customer-facing products. From custom build pipelines to stateful web components, your work will shape how our developers build beautiful, performant apps with less effort and more creativity.

• Passion for developer experience, with a track record of building tools, previews, or workflows that simplify adoption.
• Appreciation for documentation quality, internal craftsmanship, and the long-term maintainability of web tooling.
• Production experience building backend services in Node.js, with knowledge of service architecture, routing, and data flow patterns.
