Senior Software Engineer Routing Intelligenceu2028

Join Apple and be part of a community where innovation thrives creativity flourishes and diverse perspectives are celebrated. At Apple Maps were not just improving navigation. Were rethinking how hundreds of millions of people get where they need to go every a Software Engineer on the Maps Routing Engine team youll work at the heart of the system that decides at scale which path is best for each person each journey and each moment. Youll help us make routing smarter more adaptable and ultimately more personal bringing a systems and machine learning perspective that complements the expertise of some of the best routing engineers in the youre passionate about solving hard technical problems thrive in ambiguity and want your work to shape how billions of people navigate the world this is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference.n

The Maps Routing Engine team builds the backend services that power navigation for customers across Apples devices. Our work spans every modality: driving walking cycling and an engineer on our team youll work on new initiatives to make routing more intelligent and more personal while maintaining Apples privacy-first approach. Youll work deep inside the routing engine contributing to components like pathfinding and route ranking applying machine learning to improve how routes are selected and developing richer representations of the physical world so our engine can reason about routes the way a knowledgeable local have a modern development process analyzing requirements implementing and experimenting iteratively and optimizing solutions to deliver exceptional experiences. We support production systems serving billions of requests daily so occasional support outside standard business hours may be required for on-call duties and critical project needs.n

nWork across core components of the routing engine including pathfinding route ranking and overall system architecture to deliver more intelligent navigation and apply a range of technical approaches including machine learning to improve how routes are selected and tailored to individual with cross-functional partners including routing algorithm experts data science product and other engineering teams to deliver seamless navigation in design and code reviews contribute to architectural decisions and support production systems through on-call the future product direction for routing intelligence with technical expertise and customer-focused
