Cupertino, California, United States Software and Services

At Apple, we are committed to leaving the world better than we found it. The Home Energy team is part of that effort — helping people understand, manage, and shift their home’s energy toward cleaner sources. Our work includes features like Grid Forecast, Clean Energy Charging, Clean Energy Guidance, Electricity Usage & Rates, and the EnergyKit developer framework introduced at WWDC.

You will set technical direction, guide architecture and design, and drive execution from early development through product ship across Apple platforms. You will lead people, build partner alignment, and champion Home Energy’s strategic role across Apple, while staying hands‑on in design, development, and code review.

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including Apple platform technologies (iOS/macOS frameworks, Swift/Objective‑C, Xcode)
• 5+ years managing engineering teams that design and ship complex software systems
• Track record of successfully launching high‑quality consumer products end‑to‑end
• Demonstrated experience leading senior engineers and senior cross‑functional projects with tangible org‑level impact
• Experience using modern developer tools, including AI‑assisted workflows

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
