About this role

Sr. Software Engineer (Distributed System) Santa Clara, United States of America At Apple, the information powering Siri, Spotlight, Apple Maps, and Apple Intelligence doesn't appear by magic - it's harvested at massive scale from the live web by a distributed crawl platform you'll help build and operate. You'll join a small, high-impact team responsible for a system that continuously fetches, renders, and extracts structured knowledge from billions of web pages - feeding the intelligence layer behind Apple's most-used products. The web crawl infrastructure you'll work on is a large-scale, distributed system that fetches, renders, and extracts structured knowledge from billions of web pages - powering Siri, Apple Intelligence, Spotlight, Apple Maps, and more. We're looking for an engineer who doesn't just build distributed systems but who leverages modern AI coding tools as a core part of their daily engineering workflow to move faster, write higher-quality code, and tackle more ambitious problems than traditional development cycles allow. This is a deeply technical role embedded in a production platform with strict latency SLOs, complex failure domains, and high operational stakes. You'll work across the full crawl lifecycle, from how requests are scheduled and dispatched, to how pages are fetched and rendered, to how structured data is extracted and delivered downstream. As a member of this team, you will own the critical components of the systems and will be responsible for shaping the roadmap. Minimum Qualifications: 5+ years or experience building scalable distributed systems at scale Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms.
