At Apple, we don't just build products — we craft experiences that redefine entire ecosystems. The Developer Experience team delivers the essential tools and systems that empower hundreds of engineering teams across Apple to build and deploy services with speed, efficiency, and confidence. We're transforming how developers work by weaving intelligent AI capabilities directly into their workflows. We're looking for a technical leader who can build and lead the team making this vision real — someone who lives at the intersection of AI agent development, developer productivity measurement, and engineering excellence.
The Developer Experience team is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team building the next generation of AI-powered developer tooling that hundreds of Apple engineering teams rely on daily. You'll hire, develop, and lead engineers who design and ship intelligent agents that transform the software development lifecycle — from initial development through testing, deployment, and beyond. You'll set the technical direction for a portfolio of AI-powered products: coding agents, root cause analysis agents, deployment agents, code review agents, MCP servers, Slack integrations, CLI tools, and APIs that serve both human developers and autonomous systems. Your team will build production-grade AI capabilities, measure their impact through DORA and SPACE metrics, and iterate based on direct user research with engineering teams across Apple. You'll set CI/CD policies and standards that balance velocity with safety, working with cross-functional partners to establish guardrails for AI-assisted deployments at scale. Your team's work will make AI capabilities a seamless, integrated part of how developers build services at Apple. This role requires both hands-on technical depth in agentic AI systems and proven leadership in building high-performing engineering teams. You'll partner with project managers, peer engineering leaders, and senior stakeholders to align your team's roadmap with organizational priorities while maintaining the autonomy to make bold technical bets.
