About the job
Core OS ships the foundational software that powers every Apple product. Accelerating developer productivity, elevating software quality, and shaping where the organization invests next all depend on turning massive amounts of workflow data into clear, strategic intelligence. The System Analytics & Intelligence (SAIL) team exists to do exactly that, identifying what matters most and driving meaningful improvements to the developer experience. Our goal is to help Core OS build better software faster.
We're looking for a software engineer who is excited to build the scalable services and data foundation that make this possible.
