Description

We are looking for a highly experienced, self-starting, and results-oriented Back-End engineer who is not afraid to question assumptions as they build large-scale, data-driven systems to enable the growth of Apple's Original Content during these critical early days and into the future. This is a unique opportunity to build at Apple's scale in the media services industry and within ASE (the fastest growing division within Apple). If you're passionate and creative while staying focused and curious we've got an exciting role for you. Apple's Original Content is growing fast, and it's up to us to make it efficient and scalable.

We're a new team, and already launched multiple services to power the Apple Original Content pipeline. We're looking for a Back-End engineer who dives deep into tech and is trusted by their peers to come up with the best solutions for any problem. We design as a team, we code review each other's work, and we invest in automated testing and deployments. We look for phenomenal teammates who are able to solve problems and deliver visionary solutions.

The team builds tools and systems to scale and optimize the Apple TV+ video content post production workflows. Our entire tech stack is on cloud-based infrastructure, from the UI to the data, and everything in between. The ideal Back-End engineer will understand how to model data to enable efficient video file-based workflows, and how to build the secure and scalable APIs and services to power all of our products.
