Systems Software Engineer, File Sync

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.

The Cloud File Providers team is looking for a Systems Software Engineer to help build the future of File Sync on Apple devices. We are responsible for the FileProvider framework, a technology that powers file sync applications used by millions of people, like Google Drive and iCloud Drive, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

FileProvider enables file syncing applications to focus on their product and users, by implementing a host of functionality in the operating system itself. Behind an easy to use 3rd party API, we provide a resilient file syncing engine, automatic download and offloading of file contents based on user access patterns and device storage levels, integration with Apple's own Finder and Files applications, integration with Spotlight search, power and performance optimizations, and much more.

The Systems Software Engineer will work with colleagues both inside and outside of the FileProvider team to deliver software features and bug fixes. You'll work with operating system engineers, framework engineers, internal and external application developers, and more. You'll be responsible for the quality of your features, working with QA teams and writing your own test automation.

This is an opportunity to work on core technology that impacts millions of users across Apple's platforms, building robust and efficient systems that power file synchronization capabilities used by both Apple's own services and third-party applications.
