Core Operating Systems
The operating system is what makes an Apple product an Apple product. When you’re on the team that forms the core of that personality, you help ensure it’s inseparable from the device’s identity as a whole. You can do that here because Apple has always had a fully integrated operating system, combining hardware, software and applications. As part of this group, you’ll develop technologies like iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS and work with other teams to build the world’s most collaborative products. Areas of work include Kernel, Networking, File Systems, Sensors and Transports.

Helping people stay connected keeps David going.
While on vacation in Australia, David saw an older couple making silly faces at an iPhone. It didn’t take long for him to realise they were having a FaceTime conversation with their grandchildren. David sat back in his chair and smiled. As a CommApps quality assurance engineer based in Cupertino, David works on the Phone, FaceTime and Messages apps. He spends his days identifying software issues through test planning and execution. He then coordinates efforts across departments to make sure these apps always work.
Seeing those grandparents in Australia proved it was all worth it. “I remember thinking about all the innovation and hard work that went into making this one human moment happen. I’ve never felt pride like that before.”
At Apple, the challenge is more than building an app or feature — it’s creating something people feel a real connection to.
