Engineering Program Manager, OS Build Deployment

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.

It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something — you'll add something.

Are you passionate about software deployment and release management? Does shipping an OS to hundreds of millions of users appeal to you?

Be part of the team that ships iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and visionOS to the world! We're looking for someone with strong OS fundamentals, excellent communication skills, and a desire to join an amazing team who ships OS's that drive Apple Products. We want people who enjoy designing solutions to solve problems and have an appetite for continuous improvement.

Coordinate cross-functional teams, gather requirements, and manage deliverables for shipping OS software across the Apple ecosystem. Provide clear, timely status updates to partner teams on upcoming releases, and work directly with engineering to prioritize deliverables and triage issues as they arise.

Own projects that improve the release process itself, and take end-to-end ownership of delivering beta software — for Mac, iPhone, iPad, HomePod, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro — to customers and developers.

This role is a fit for a project/program manager who's genuinely curious about the technology, or a release engineer who's highly organized and wants to help drive software from development to delivery. Either way, you'll need sharp project management instincts and the communication skills to work effectively across engineering, QA, and partner organizations.
