We are a high-impact team that designs, builds, and operates novel functionality in Apple’s media processing and content delivery platform. This enables many of Apple’s signature apps and experiences. Our work is crucial to the success of Apple’s growth in services, enabling new features that will change the world. This role will take you beyond the systems and services you will find elsewhere. Privacy is paramount at Apple. This role involves close collaboration with the Privacy and Security teams. The ideal candidate will have a strong quality focus and be motivated by helping evolve services into reliable scalable systems. Our systems are distributed in nature, and you will gain experience reasoning about different failure models that may occur. You will be comfortable working with our cross-functional partner teams to deliver the best outcomes. Product development can be fast-paced, and requirements can change during the rapid innovation cycles. You will have the opportunity to clarify requirements, taking risks where justified by the reward. You will be exposed to CI/CD, observability, and SLOs as part of building mature, reliable services. Learn to identify and prevent potential production issues proactively. When issues do occur you will work with teammates to diagnose and resolve them quickly. This is not an operations role, but the job will provide second-level support when expertise is required, potentially out of hours. This role offers excellent learning opportunities in distributed systems, scalability, and privacy-focused engineering.
