Developer Intelligence Partnerships Engineering Manager

The Developer Experience team provide the tools to develop software for all of Apple's innovative platforms, namely Xcode and the surrounding ecosystem of tools and frameworks.

Intelligence is changing the way we build software: from the smallest project to the biggest product. Apple creates tools infused with intelligence to empower developers to be creative and to build apps that reach the widest audiences. This team is responsible for understanding advances in agentic coding & the underlying models, and how to bring the best of those models to our tools while also bringing the best of Apple's platforms to those models. The team is the interface between partners teams within and outside of Apple, and the rest of the Developer Intelligence components.

Working on this team covers everything from integrating new models, building relationships with teams, evaluating new techniques to get the most out of each prompt, to researching and implementing and augmenting new protocols and standards.

This position requires a creative, curious, and self-motivated individual. You should love to learn, love to work with a variety of teams and disciplines to bring the best experience for our developers, and enjoy ambiguous problems to explore new paths, respond quickly to partners, and lead a team of engineers delivering key frameworks for Developer Intelligence.
