Apple • Austin, TX

About The Position

Apple’s Marcom Engineering (ME) team builds the interactive brand experiences that bring Apple products to life online. We’re looking for a front-end engineer to join our team and play a key role in developing and maintaining our component library — the foundation that enables us to deliver high-quality experiences efficiently across Apple’s lines of business. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering and design, translating creative vision into performant, reusable UI components. This is a role for someone who cares deeply about craft, thinks in systems, and thrives when collaborating across disciplines. You will design, build, and maintain shared UI components that power Apple’s online brand experiences. Working on an engineering team that partners with design and creative teams on a project basis, you’ll ensure components are flexible enough to support varied use cases while maintaining Apple’s standard of quality. The team is currently transitioning from its existing front-end architecture codebase to React, so you’ll need to operate effectively in both environments.

Requirements

• 3 years of professional front-end development experience
• Experience in semantic HTML5, modern CSS, and JavaScript (ES6+)
• Experience building reusable UI components in both vanilla JS/HTML/CSS and framework-based environments
• Familiarity with React or similar component-based frameworks, and Node.js-based tooling
• Experience with package managers and build tools (NPM, webpack, Vite, or similar)
• BS in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent job-related experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or maintaining a component library or design system
• Proficiency with React, including component composition patterns and state management
• Experience migrating an existing codebase to a React-based architecture
• Skilled in CSS architecture at scale (BEM, CSS Modules, Styled Components, or similar)
• Experience with performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser testing
• Familiarity with component documentation tooling (Storybook or equivalent)
• Track record of introducing new patterns or technologies, or mentoring peers
• Effective communicator who can work across both technical and creative teams

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain shared UI components that power Apple’s online brand experiences.
• Ensure components are flexible enough to support varied use cases while maintaining Apple’s standard of quality.
• Operate effectively in both existing front-end architecture codebase and React environments.
