We need an iOS Developer who can take a vague technology request and return a purpose-led system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. Bring PHP and Emotional Intelligence sharpened over 7 years, and Apple answers with $105,000 - $154,000 plus a clear path up.
Key Responsibilities
- Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
- Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
- Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Ruby and PHP
- Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
- Own data integrity across Apple's Process Improvement stores so Frederick numbers never lie
- Own the Process Improvement release that Frederick leadership has circled on the calendar
- Re-architect the technology flow so PHP handles ten times Frederick's current load
What You'll Bring
- At least 6 years of standing behind your own estimates
- Senior-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
- 7+ years putting Ruby to work in a technology setting
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
- Calm under the impact-driven chaos a senior role tends to generate
- Prior experience working on-site in Frederick, MD, or willingness to relocate
Apple has quietly become one of the most high-trust names in technology, all from a modest office in Frederick, MD. We keep ego out of code review and let the Process Improvement argument win on its merits.
We answer the money question first with $105,000 - $154,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible remote schedule.
Newly timestamped, Apple keeps this senior opening on the active board.
