Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate secure Drupal and Symfony applications used by Apple employees worldwide
  • Own applications end to end — from concept and architecture through deployment and day-to-day operations
  • Run projects autonomously: partner directly with business groups to translate requirements into scalable enterprise software, manage priorities, and incorporate customer feedback throughout delivery
  • Apply secure coding practices, including input validation and access control, across the stack
  • Build user-friendly, accessible front-end interfaces that meet modern accessibility standards
  • Build systems that scale across multiple regions and languages and handle peak load for a global user base
  • Optimize application and database performance, including debugging and tuning SQL queries
  • Integrate applications with authentication and third-party services, and incorporate AI tooling into the development lifecycle
  • Contribute to a culture of quality and reliability through code review, sound engineering standards, and continuous improvement

Qualifications

  • Deep, hands-on experience with Symfony and Drupal, including complex custom module development, object-oriented PHP, design patterns, and dependency management with Composer
  • Proven ability to own production applications end to end — from concept and architecture through deployment and day-to-day operations — and to drive projects autonomously with business partners
  • Experience applying secure coding practices across the stack, including input validation and access control
  • Experience designing and consuming RESTful web services and APIs (e.g., JSON:API, REST)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Developing custom Drush commands and background/queue processes, with a focus on performance tuning
  • Strong SQL skills, including optimizing and debugging queries to improve performance
  • Writing automated tests (e.g., PHPUnit, Kernel/functional tests)
  • Integrating applications and authentication using OAuth, SAML, and single sign-on
  • Integrating AI tools into the application development lifecycle
  • Search integration (e.g., Apache Solr, Elasticsearch)
  • NoSQL data stores (e.g., Redis)
  • Building and maintaining Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes across a variety of data sources
  • Designing systems that scale across multiple locations and languages and handle peak load for a global user base
  • Load testing and advanced troubleshooting of production applications
  • CI/CD pipelines, container-based systems for deployment and local development, and managing configuration/deployments across multi-environment architectures
  • Distributed version control with Git
  • Building user-friendly, accessible front-end interfaces (Twig, JavaScript, CSS) that meet accessibility standards
  • React or Swift application development
  • Leading engineering projects and driving delivery, including Agile facilitation, code review, and mentoring peers
