The Retail Technology, Production Engineering team prototypes and builds the demo experiences that bring devices to life across Apple stores worldwide. Every new Apple product entering the retail demo pipeline passes through our hands. We compose the demo bundle-the layered macOS configuration, applications, and content that make a device feel like an Apple Store demo-and ship it to stores worldwide. Every device a customer picks up in an Apple Store reflects the precision and care this team puts into every build.
As a Systems Engineer, you will lead macOS production engineering by owning how every Mac demo in every Apple Store is bundled, validated, and shipped. You will partner with app, systems, and demo engineers to research macOS behaviors and design how packages and configurations layer together. In this role, you will build on your findings to modernize the production pipeline and ensure we consistently ship on Apple's release calendar. This is engineering work that rewards curiosity and rigor. The right person wants to understand how MacOS behaves and why. And they are also disciplined enough ensure every release is shipped on time. \n
