In Software Engineering, we value people who are talented, detail-oriented, able to work through all steps of the creative process, knowledgeable about the customer, passionate, ambitious, and self-motivated. The ideal candidate is able to learn new things quickly and has tremendous potential. With meticulous attention to detail, you can design, explain, defend, and bring to fruition any creative idea. Great engineers are always thinking about how a product will be used, and they care about the customers who use it. They also use the technology themselves and have hobbies that match their work, such as photography or filmmaking.
People often assume you must be a life-long Mac enthusiast to work at Apple. That simply isn't true. A great engineer who is motivated, smart, energetic, and has a good attitude is what we look for, because those qualities can't be taught. Do you want to make a name for yourself creating some of the most innovative and exciting software on the market? If you find yourself saying, "There's got to be a better way to do this," when you use your computer, then software engineering might be the right place for you.
