- Translating standards and designs into actionable tests and implementations.
Key Qualifications:

- Ability to design code for accuracy, clarity, maintainability, and efficiency.
- Experience in identifying and rectifying bugs within a large codebase.
- Familiarity with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Experience in leading projects and mentoring colleagues.
- Interest in typography, graphic design, visual layout, or geometry.

Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent education or professional experience.
Additional Qualifications:
Engineers often build successful careers on the WebKit team without prior experience in web browsers.

Some of the following skills and interests may provide a beneficial advantage:
- Experience in projects involving art, graphic design, visual layout, or geometry, whether personal or professional.
- Development of demos and simplified test cases.
- Debugging and profiling experience.
- Familiarity with UIKit, AppKit, or graphics frameworks.

- Experience with developer-facing products.
- Collaborating with the team to foster effective engineering practices and a positive team culture.
Compensation & Benefits:
At Apple, base pay is just one aspect of our comprehensive compensation package, determined within a specified range.

This allows for career progression as you grow and develop in your role.

The base pay range for this position is between $175,800 and $312,200, with your actual base pay depending on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

Apple employees also have the opportunity to become shareholders through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs.

Eligible employees can receive discretionary restricted stock unit awards and can purchase Apple stock at a discount through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.


Benefits Include:

Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a variety of discounted products and free services, and reimbursement for certain educational expenses related to career advancement at Apple, including tuition.
