About The Position

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on iCloud.com are full-featured productivity applications used by millions of people every day, with the performance and polish users expect from Apple. We’re looking for a talented engineer with experience with web and native technologies who cares as much about the craft of building great software as the experience it creates. In this role you’ll work inside a large, sophisticated codebase that has to be both highly performant and well maintained. On a typical day, you’ll be writing TypeScript and React to ship new features across Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on iCloud.com, collaborating with designers and platform engineers to ensure those features feel native-quality on the web. You’ll also contribute to the build systems, testing infrastructure, and internal tooling that keep the team productive. Our priorities can - and do - change, which means you’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at bringing clarity to complex problems. All of your hard work will be used by millions of people around the world every day.
