iOS Engineer - Wallet

The Wallet Engineering team is looking for proactive and hardworking software engineers to join our growing team! Wallet allows you to securely collect and use boarding passes, movie tickets, coupons, and more, all in one place. It's also the home for Apple Pay, the easiest and most convenient way to pay in stores, apps, and on the web. Beyond payments, the Wallet Engineering team is building the technology to replace the physical wallet. We have been hard at work, creating groundbreaking experiences with Apple Card, Apple Cash, and Apple Savings, and we've revolutionized how our customers ride public transit in cities around the world, including London, New York, and Tokyo. Join us and work on an exciting roadmap of features that change the everyday lives of people around the world.

The Transit, Access, Identity, and Provisioning team (San Diego / Cupertino): The team is responsible for all user-facing features, such as buying transit cards in Wallet, viewing balances and commute plans, as well as NFC Express mode, which allows you to travel securely and privately on transit without needing to FaceID every time. Access expanded on this platform created by Transit to introduce hotel and home keys, car keys, student ID, and Disney MagicMobile. Access introduced Passive Entry, which allows transactions similar to NFC Express mode but over UWB and so occur at range, making the car key experience feel just the same as the key fob. Identity completed this platform journey by allowing driver's licenses, government ID's, and other documents into Wallet. Finally, underpinning all of Wallet products is provisioning. The infrastructure, user experience, and process of adding any card to Wallet. This team supports all Wallet requests across the organization to ensure a unified experience.

The First Party Products team (Cupertino / New York): Responsible for Apple Card, Apple Savings, Apple Cash, Gift Cards, Issuer Installments, and Tap to Pay. Apple Card reimagined the credit card experience with a focus on simplicity, transparency, and privacy, giving customers real-time spending insights, Daily Cash rewards, and tools to pay less interest. Apple Savings extended this vision by offering customers a high-yield savings account right from Wallet, making it effortless to grow their Daily Cash. Apple Cash powers peer-to-peer payments across Messages and Wallet, enabling customers to send, receive, and spend money seamlessly. Gift Cards bring a unified redemption and balance experience directly into Wallet, while Issuer Installments gives customers flexible, transparent financing options at checkout through their participating card issuers. Tap to Pay transformed the iPhone into a payment terminal, empowering merchants of all sizes to accept contactless payments without any additional hardware. Together, this team builds and evolves the financial products at the heart of Wallet, delivering experiences that make managing money simpler, more accessible, and more secure for customers around the world.

The Core Wallet Experience Team (Cupertino): Responsible for Wallet apps, frameworks, and the non-payment pass ecosystem, including coupons, membership, event tickets, and boarding passes. This team owns the everyday Wallet app experience, the central place where customers organize and access everything from a concert ticket to a gym membership to a boarding pass for their next flight. Beyond the app itself, the team builds and maintains the frameworks that power Wallet across Apple's platforms, enabling other teams at Apple and third-party developers to create rich, dynamic pass experiences for their customers. As the front door to everything Wallet offers, from Apple Pay to transit cards to digital IDs, the Core Wallet Experience team ensures that every interaction feels intuitive, polished, and unmistakably Apple.
