About the role

Senior Software Engineer focused on frontend engineering for Apple's AIML Annotation Platform. Build and maintain web frontends for annotation/quality tooling, contribute to design systems, lead frontend workstreams across cross-functional teams, and ensure performance, testing, and accessibility.

Responsibilities

  • Build high-quality web interfaces — including agentic UI experiences like task editors and real-time review flow — using React and modern web standards, as part of a collaborative frontend team
  • Implement designs with pixel-perfect fidelity, partnering with product designers as a peer from early in the process through delivery
  • Contribute to a shared component library and design system, and proactively flag where product evolution breaks established design patterns
  • Lead the frontend workstream on cross-functional projects — coordinating across design, backend, ML, and product from planning through delivery
  • Own frontend performance and observability end-to-end — profiling, bundle-size budgets, Core Web Vitals, instrumentation, and error tracking
  • Establish testing discipline across the frontend stack and evolve the build/tooling stack to keep shipping fast and confident
  • Contribute actively to code and architecture reviews; help raise the team's technical bar; support the growth of fellow engineers

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, HCI, or a related field
  • Proven professional frontend engineering experience, with deep expertise in React and the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem
  • Strong command of React architecture — component design, hooks, state management, rendering optimization — and frontend performance fundamentals in production
  • Solid understanding of asynchronous data patterns (REST/GraphQL API design, WebSockets/SSE) and experience designing or contributing to backend-for-frontend (BFF) layers that mediate between UI requirements and underlying services
  • Solid testing practices across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers, plus grounding in web accessibility (WCAG) and frontend security best practices
  • A working relationship with product design that goes beyond handoff — able to engage at the design stage, push back constructively, and implement pixel-perfect interfaces from high-fidelity specifications
  • Strong eye for visual design and interaction patterns, with experience contributing to design systems or component libraries used across multiple teams
  • Experience leading the frontend workstream of cross-functional projects in interdisciplinary settings (design, backend, PM, ML), coordinating across multiple engineers and stakeholders
  • Experience building annotation, task-editor, or review-tool UIs, or other complex, data-dense productivity interfaces
  • Experience with agentic UI patterns — interfaces driven by streaming model outputs, long-running async tasks, and event-driven state — including integrating LLM or agent backends into production web frontends
  • Strong proficiency with AI-assisted and agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development, paired with sound judgment in reviewing and integrating generated code
  • Familiarity with modern frontend tooling and workflows — bundlers (Vite, webpack), testing frameworks (Vitest, Jest, Playwright), CI/CD, and Node.js/server-side JavaScript for BFF or middleware layers
  • Experience articulating frontend architecture or design-pattern guidance to an engineering team, or building/contributing to internal platforms and developer-facing tooling at scale
