What if the media management infrastructure you architect today became the backbone of how millions of creatives organize, sync, and collaborate on their work for the next decade? This is a founding-team prospect on a high-visibility project where your decisions on cloud syncing architecture, on-device storage, and cross-platform media management will shape products used across iOS and macOS at Apple's scale.

You'll own end-to-end architecture for cloud syncing and media management features, writing performant, multi-threaded Swift code that ships to a massive install base and holds up under real creative workloads. Your collaborators will be HI designers, QA engineers, and cross-functional teams who expect you to bridge deep technical judgment with clear communication — influencing product direction, not just implementation.

Minimum Qualifications

- 3+ years shipping production code on Apple platforms (iOS and/or macOS) with a track record of reliability and scale
- Advanced Swift proficiency: demonstrated through shipped frameworks, performance-critical systems, or large codebases
- Deep expertise in cloud syncing architectures and media management technologies, applied to real consumer or professional products
- Proven technical lead experience: owning scoping, cross-team coordination,



and stakeholder communication on multi-quarter features
- Strong command of concurrency patterns and multi-threaded programming, with measurable outcomes in correctness and throughput
- Solid computer science foundations: data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design applied at production scale
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent engineering experience

Preferred Qualifications

- Hands-on experience building and shipping CloudKit-backed features, including sync conflict resolution
- Designed and maintained developer-facing APIs or reusable frameworks adopted across multiple teams or products
- Built media encoding, decoding, or playback systems using AVFoundation or AVKit in shipping applications
- Diagnosed and resolved systemic performance bottlenecks across memory, I/O, networking, or database layers with measurable before/after impact
- Experience with relational data layers (SQLite, Core Data, or PostgreSQL) in the context of media metadata or large-scale asset management
