Staff Software Engineer / Technical Educator

Apple • Seattle, WA

9d

About The Position

At Apple, our teams push the boundaries of what's possible — and the people who
teach those teams shape what comes next. We are a group of engineers, educators,
and storytellers who believe that great learning experiences are as carefully
crafted as great products. Our culture thrives on curiosity, rigor, and a deep
respect for the humans on both sides of every lesson. We are looking for a Staff
Technical Educator who brings rare depth across three disciplines: Swift
server-side engineering, training, and technical communication. You will be the
authoritative voice on Swift for server development — designing and teaching the
courses, writing the documentation, and building the hands-on labs that help
Apple engineers go deep on the full Swift server stack. If you are energized by
the challenge of making that complexity genuinely accessible — whether in a live
session, an executive briefing, or a meticulously crafted developer guide — this
role was designed for you.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, Swift development with a server-side focus is at the heart of
everything you teach and write. You will own the full arc of technical education
for Apple's Swift server curriculum — identifying what engineers need to learn,
designing the courses, and delivering them with excellence. You will also
embrace GenAi/Agentic tooling to aid in authoring technical documentation and
hands-on labs that extend learning beyond the classroom.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience designing and delivering professional technical training programs for software engineering audiences, with a focus on server-side or backend development
• 10+ years of experience as a technical writer, producing developer-facing documentation such as API references, server-side developer guides, and tutorials
• 10+ years of software development experience, including hands-on experience building server-side applications
• Experience designing and teaching Swift server-side development using Vapor 4, OpenAPI, Fluent ORM, Swift Testing, Docker, PostgreSQL, and JWT
• Experience developing and managing a Learning Management System (LMS), including course authoring and learner administration
• Experience presenting technical content to executive-level audiences
• Experience writing code in Swift, Java, C#, and SQL
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or equivalent providers
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows, including prompt engineering and agentic development tools such as Claude Code and MCP Agents

Nice To Haves

• Demonstrated passion for learner experience and a track record of improving student outcomes through intentional curriculum and lab design
• Experience developing pedagogical frameworks or instructional design standards adopted at an organizational level
• Familiarity with DocC or other documentation-as-code toolchains and developer documentation workflows
• Experience with DevOps practices and tooling, including CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent
• Experience teaching for Apple internal technical audiences
• Agile and Scrum experience, including working within or alongside Agile engineering teams
• Certifications in Scrum (Developer, Master, or Product Owner) or relevant cloud/platform certifications
• Experience delivering technical training in large-scale or high-visibility formats (conferences, summits, workshops with 100+ attendees)
• Familiarity with accessibility best practices in both documentation and instructional content design
