Question

I am interested in becoming an apple software engineer but is it halaal or harm for work there? Is working for a company which sells computers, laptops, phones is halaal or haraam? If I sell a computer to a buyer if that buyer uses it in any bad ways will I get sins?

Answer

If the work you are employed for is of a permissible nature and there is nothing impermissible associated with it, then it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
