Job Description

The Apple Media Products Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology. These are the people who power the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple’s high expectations with high performance to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 35 languages to more than 150 countries.

These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services.

Thanks to Apple’s unique integration of hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening Apple’s privacy policy, one of Apple’s core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple’s business than ever before, these teams remain small, nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.

Key Qualifications
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience building and scaling fault-tolerant distributed systems
  • Experience developing high quality, high performance server software in Go
  • Hands on experience across the software engineering stack, including core backend systems, APIs, data pipelines, and infrastructure
  • Experience in the design and delivery of sophisticated production infrastructure systems
  • Experience building microservices on Kubernetes, Docker, or other container deployment architecture
  • Strong production debugging and performance tuning skills
  • Passion. Our customers love what we do at Apple and we want the same from our engineers
