Full Job Description
Description

As a Frontend Engineer on Apple Services Engineering, you will build the next generation of customer-

facing user experiences for some of the world's most widely used subscription services. You will work

day to day in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript alongside modern component frameworks and

build tooling, partnering closely with design, product, and backend engineers to ship interfaces that are

fast, accessible, and beautiful at global scale.

This is a hands-on engineering role where craft matters. The surfaces you build are seen by hundreds

of millions of people, so attention to detail, a high bar for quality, and a genuine investment in

performance and accessibility are essential. You will also have the opportunity to help surface AI-

powered and generative AI capabilities in consumer-facing interfaces, translating complex model

behavior into experiences that feel simple and intuitive.

We are looking for someone who is self-motivated and drives their commitments to completion, who

collaborates generously, and who enjoys mentoring as much as being mentored. If you like solving

hard problems and sweating the small stuff, this role is for you.

Minimum Qualifications

Experience building complex, large-scale production applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Proficiency in at least one modern JavaScript or TypeScript component framework, such as Svelte,

React, Vue, or equivalent.

Experience writing maintainable CSS at scale, including preprocessors or modern CSS tooling (Sass,

LESS, CSS modules, or equivalent).

Working knowledge of the modern frontend toolchain, including Node.js, package management,

module bundlers such as Vite or Webpack, continuous integration, and HTTP networking

fundamentals.

Experience writing automated tests for frontend code using frameworks such as Vitest, Jest,

Playwright, or Cypress.

Preferred Qualifications

Demonstrated craft and a high quality bar, with strong attention to detail in shipped user interfaces.

Depth in web performance and accessibility, including profiling, measurement, and WCAG-aligned

practices in large-scale applications.

Strong debugging and problem-solving skills spanning build tooling, network behavior, and the browser

runtime.

Experience with Svelte, and with building or maintaining shared component libraries and design

systems.

Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of partnering across design,

product, and backend, and of both mentoring and being mentored.

Self-motivated ownership, with a history of driving commitments to completion and surfacing risks

early.

Familiarity with AI and ML concepts, and experience integrating AI-driven or generative AI features into

web interfaces.
