UI Software Engineer, Developer Workflows – Apple – Vancouver, BC

Vancouver’s tech scene just got more interesting. Apple is growing its internal services experience team in Vancouver, British Columbia, and they’re looking for a skilled UI Software Engineer to join the Developer Workflows group. If you’re passionate about front-end web development and want your work to directly improve the productivity of thousands of engineers, this is a rare chance to build tools that matter at scale.

This isn’t a typical product-facing role — you’ll be working on internal developer tooling that powers Apple’s Software Engineering organization. That means tackling large-scale, genuinely unique problems, collaborating closely with engineering teams across the company, and contributing to a bold “next generation” vision for how code changes get integrated across SWE. You’ll have real ownership, from customer discovery through to delivery.

About the Role: UI Software Engineer, Developer Workflows

Day-to-day, you’ll be making near-term improvements to existing internal products while also driving longer-horizon investments in next-generation developer workflows. You’ll partner with Human Interface (HI) designers, engage directly with internal engineering customers, and deliver polished tooling experiences. The role calls for someone equally comfortable writing clean JavaScript/TypeScript and discussing design decisions with stakeholders.

You’ll be expected to bring a commitment to quality and user experience that matches Apple’s standards. That means not just shipping features, but owning them — from conception through to production support. Working collaboratively, incorporating feedback, and adapting based on real customer needs are all core to how this team operates.

Benefits and Salary

Apple offers a base pay range of $116,800 to $226,000 CAD for this role in Vancouver, depending on skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Beyond base pay, employees can participate in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs, including restricted stock unit (RSU) award recommendations and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which allows staff to purchase Apple stock at a discount. The full compensation package also includes comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, discounts on Apple products and services, and tuition reimbursement for formal education that supports your career development at Apple. The role may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments, as well as relocation assistance.

Responsibilities

As a UI Software Engineer on the Developer Workflows team, you’ll split your time between iterating on existing internal tools and contributing to longer-term platform improvements. Your work will have a direct impact on how Apple’s engineering teams integrate and ship code every day, making efficiency and usability a genuine priority.

• Build and improve large-scale internal web applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Drive near-term enhancements to existing products while contributing to ambitious next-generation workflow redesigns
• Partner with the HI team to translate designs into polished, high-quality front-end experiences
• Engage directly with internal customers to understand developer needs and iterate based on real feedback
• Own features end-to-end, from initial concept and design through to release and production troubleshooting
• Collaborate with peers to discuss code decisions, review work, and incorporate stakeholder feedback
• Apply testing best practices using frameworks like Jest and React Testing Library, and enforce code quality with tools like ESLint

Requirements / Skills

Apple is looking for someone who combines strong front-end engineering fundamentals with a genuine care for the developer experience. You should be comfortable working in complex, cross-functional environments and motivated to make workflows better — not just functional, but genuinely great to use.

• 3–5 years of experience building large-scale web applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Framework proficiency in at least one of React, Svelte, VueJS, Ember, or equivalent
• Familiarity with testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library) and code quality tooling like ESLint
• Strong communication skills — able to discuss code with peers and explain decisions to non-technical stakeholders
• Commitment to design and UX, with a track record of adapting approaches based on customer feedback
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• Preferred: experience with modern CSS, SASS, PostCSS, state management tools (Redux, React Query), and CI/CD workflows
• Preferred: understanding of accessibility standards and performance optimization in web applications
