Apple is where talented individuals gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. In the DevPubs content engineering team, we tell the world about innovative new features and capabilities available to developers. We are among the first engineers to use these new technologies, we give feedback to the internal engineers, and ultimately document new APIs for millions of Apple developers to use in their own apps. We are looking for a talented engineer and experienced manager who is excited to lead a team responsible for teaching the world-wide community of developers about Apple technologies. Our software engineers are creative, innovative, self motivated people who love working with bleeding-edge technology. The ideal candidate will be a knowledgeable generalist who is comfortable managing a distributed team responsible for a variety of tasks, from building sample projects with evolving APIs, reviewing and commenting on API proposals, and teaching developers how to use entirely new technology. We work closely with cross functional departments across the company, so strong communication skills and problem solving abilities are essential.
