About the Role

You'll have the opportunity to tackle the intricate challenge of building resilient and reliable distributed software systems at Apple's scale. You will be given flexibility to explore creative solutions, the support of a talented and driven team, and access to diverse technologies. You will have the autonomy, and responsibility, to take full ownership of your solutions.

You'll join a nimble team involved in every stage of the product and software development lifecycle and will design, build, test, deliver and maintain exceptional software that truly makes a difference. In this fast-paced environment, you'll be hands-on in all phases, and will actively shape the architecture and design of our platforms and offerings through the lived experience of operating, monitoring, and providing on-call support for the software you build.

Responsibilities

As a key member of the team, you'll participate in technical discussions, write specifications, review code, and produce documentation. Success in this role therefore requires strong self-motivation, crisp and clear communication, a highly collaborative approach, and the ability to work effectively across teams and disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or at least 5 years of industry experience in a software engineering role.
• Hands-on software development experience with Java or Kotlin.
• Development and operational experience with REST and/or gRPC services.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Time spent architecting, building, supporting or otherwise working on cloud-native (e.g. AWS) applications with resilience as a core feature.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
• Experience with observability tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, Datadog).
• An appreciation for, and understanding of security, privacy, and cryptography.
• Hands-on experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g. Aurora, DynamoDB, CockroachDB, Oracle).

Minimum Qualifications

• A commitment to continuous learning and improvement, and curiosity for new technologies, techniques and patterns in pursuit of engineering excellence.
• A solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals.
• An ability to communicate thoughtfully and clearly, both verbally and in writing, to discuss complex technical concepts with diverse audiences, including global teams and external partners.
• A track record of building and sustaining healthy long-term relationships within your team, and beyond its boundaries.
• The tenacity and perseverance to drive a complex project all the way from conception to production.
• No formal degree is required. What matters most is your mindset, your initiative, and your ability to apply your skills to real-world applications.
