We build and operate the internal developer platform used by every engineering team in the Wallet, Payments and Commerce organization. The platform covers the full software development lifecycle, from scaffolding a new service through building and releasing it, provisioning the cloud infrastructure and data stores it depends on, deploying it across multiple regions, and giving teams the observability and operational tooling they need to run it in production.
As demand for these services grows, we are expanding the team that builds the platform beneath them. We work under strict privacy, security and compliance requirements, and we hold a high bar for engineering quality. The platform exists so teams can build and ship new products faster and more reliably than they could on their own.
Description
This is a software engineering role on the team that builds the platform itself. The primary output is design and code. You will design the APIs, write the production code behind them, and own the performance and correctness of systems that engineering teams across the organization depend on daily.
Responsibilities:
Design and build Kubernetes-native services, controllers and APIs in Go, owning each subsystem from design review through production operation.
Turn complex infrastructure provisioning into simple declarative APIs, so application teams can describe what they need without having to manage the underlying complexity themselves.
Make the platform fast and predictable at scale, and diagnose the performance and correctness problems that surface there, from hot loops and unbounded work queues to memory growth and convergence failures across regions.
Raise the engineering bar through meaningful test coverage, code review that improves designs rather than syntax, and the observability you need to run what you build.
Participate in an on-call rotation for the systems you own, and turn each incident into a permanent fix or a guardrail rather than a runbook entry.
Work AI-forward by using coding agents and LLM-based tooling as a normal part of development, and own the correctness of what you ship regardless of what drafted it.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience writing Kubernetes controllers or operators in production, including custom resource design and schema versioning.
Experience with declarative configuration and templating systems such as Pkl, CUE, Jsonnet, Kustomize or Helm, or with infrastructure as code such as Terraform.
Extended experience in at least one of: GitOps and progressive delivery, developer platforms and internal tooling, multi-region and disaster recovery, observability, or regulated environments such as PCI.
Fluency with coding agents and LLM-based development tooling, and judgment about when to trust their output.
Ability to coach and mentor other ICs, and to lead a design review to a decision.
Minimum Qualifications
6+ years building and operating production backend or infrastructure systems.
Strong programming ability in Go (GoLang) with solid fundamentals in API design, concurrency and error handling.
A real testing practice. You write tests that would catch a regression rather than tests that restate the implementation.
Distributed systems experience covering idempotency, eventual consistency, retries and partial failure, plus practical performance work where you profiled something and measured the fix.
Working knowledge of Kubernetes and extensive cloud experience with at least one of the major cloud providers.
Excellent written and verbal communication, including design documents and incident write-ups that other engineers can act on.
Pay & Benefits
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $184,700 and $324,800, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses - including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation. Learn more about Apple Benefits

This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Software engineering) at Apple. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.
We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.
Estimate for a wage earner: 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction (IRS), Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500, Medicare 1.45% (+0.9% above $200,000 single / $250,000 married), and a state rate you set; set your own state tax rate. It ignores credits, pre-tax deductions, local taxes and benefits. Sources: IRS: tax year 2026 inflation adjustments · SSA wage base per Federal Register notice 2025-19763.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in New York, NY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How New York compares. Among the 120 largest places in New York, New York is #1 by population, #117 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #115 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Kings County, is #38 of 62 counties for average pay ($59,980).
New York has 8,483,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 42.7% of the population of New York. It covers 300 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 28,236 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, 4% younger than the state median (38.2 against 39.8).
The median gross rent is $1,821 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% above the state median ($1,821 against $1,621). Over a year that is 27.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $777,600, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($80,483); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 32.8% of households own their home, 40% below the state average (32.8% against 54.4%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area has 9,492,000 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $61,430 a year, 20% above the national median ($61,430 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (1,109,360 jobs, median $55,080); healthcare support (843,730 jobs, median $40,100); sales and related (751,110 jobs, median $47,540). The area is most specialised in healthcare support (1.8 times) and legal (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($171,990) and legal ($150,990). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Kings County was 5.3%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Kings County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 21.6% drive alone, 44.0% use public transit, 9.2% walk, 16.9% work from home. 41.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (41.2% against 27.4%).
41.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (41.6% against 40.2%). 36.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (36.6% against 22.8%). The poverty rate is 17.9%, 28% above the state rate (17.9% against 14.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 34°F (1.1°C). About 1,313 mm (52 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Feb the driest (95 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Hoboken (7 miles, rent 61% higher); Jersey City (7 miles, rent 10% higher); Union City (9 miles, rent 16% lower); Bayonne (9 miles, rent 8% lower). Rent differences are against New York; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
