Description

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. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. In Developer Publications, we teach people to design and build incredible software for Appleʼs platforms. Our audience includes developers getting their first introduction to Apple platforms, designers using our Human Interface Guidelines, and advanced engineers learning details of our hundreds of frameworks. As a Software Engineering Author, youʼll work closely with editors, engineers, designers, and teams across Apple to produce clear, concise, engaging content. Your articles, sample code, and API reference documentation will reach millions of developers and help them craft apps that use the latest Apple technologies to surprise and delight users. DESCRIPTION In this role, you will be responsible for authoring the developer documentation, reference, and sample code that Apple publishes to millions of developers. Your responsibilities include: - Exploring how the latest software technologies work by discussing design principles, analyzing engineering specifications, and writing code that exercises new API. - Researching developer needs, and crafting plans and schedules to provide extraordinary educational content for a technology. - Composing documents and code that teach highly technical concepts in a manner that is easily understood by developers. - Reviewing new APIs for correctness, completeness, clarity, and ease of use, and participating in conversations to improve the APIs with various software engineering teams. - Attending and contributing to cross-functional meetings to ensure Apple ships high-quality developer technologies and documentation. - Taking an active role in developing engaging presentations for Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS A passion for learning new technologies and teaching developers to write amazing apps. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, organizational skills, critical-thinking capabilities, and attention to detail. The ability to interpret complex topics and distill them into clear, simplified prose and teachable sample code. Proven experience developing apps or writing code that uses Xcode and Swift or Objective-C along with Apple frameworks. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Familiarity with Appleʼs Human Interface Guidelines and an understanding of UX/UI design principles a plus. Familiarity with JavaScript and REST APIs a plus.
