Company mission

Role
Who you are
- Strong programming fundamentals and experience with Swift and/or Objective-C
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills
- Strong problem solving and critical thinking ability
- Creativity and innovation with practical applications
- Passion for delivering great developer and user experiences
Desirable
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, or equivalent work experience. Experience working with professional-quality code bases and application development
What the job involves
- The StoreKit team is looking for a motivated software engineer to help us make some of the most exciting and widely-used frameworks in the world!
- With the release of StoreKit 2, StoreKit Testing in Xcode, and tons of other new features, the StoreKit team is dedicated to shipping great developer experiences and robust code. If you aspire to these goals as well, then we could be a match
- Software engineers working on StoreKit deliver high-performance, robust, and clean code spanning across several external and internal frameworks, system daemons and agents, and user-facing apps
- We also work cross-functionally with many teams at Apple to design and implement features that span across systems
- StoreKit powers global In-App Purchase commerce across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS
- We are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining In-App Purchase features, but our work goes deeper than the public APIs you may be familiar with – we also deliver internal APIs to critical Apple clients. Our code processes and serves data that powers many user interactions on Apple devices
- Design and implement new features related to In-App Purchases and apps across all Apple platforms
- Work closely with teammates and other teams at Apple to architect solutions to complex problems
- Write tests and documentation to maintain reliability and a top-notch developer experience
- Investigate and resolve bugs and enhance performance of our frameworks and system processes
Our take
With a market capitalisation that reached $3 trillion in 2022, Apple is the world's most valuable company. A vertically integrated approach and obsessive focus on the user experience have helped to make Apple one of the most successful companies in the world.
Since taking over at Apple, Tim Cook has been carefully curating the company's reputation as a champion of consumer privacy, trying to set the company apart from others that monetise their users' data.
The company even went as far as to introduce sweeping privacy changes which made it difficult to tailor ads to Apple’s 1bn+ iPhone users. This rocked the $400bn digital ads market, seriously harming the revenue of its bigger rivals in the lucrative industry and forcing them to rebuild their ad infrastructure.
Despite this, the company has been shaken by supply chain issues and moved a considerable amount of its manufacturing from China to India, and increased its Vietnam presence. This is because of multi-pronged production disruption in China, the second largest customer market for Apple, and triggered an estimated 10% revenue drop in the first quarter of 2023.
