Software Engineer - Universal Media

at  Apple

SUMMARY

Posted: Jun 14, 2024
Role Number:200555486
Apple Services Engineering (ASE) teams power the App Store, Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple Books, Fitness+, the iTunes Store, and more. We do this on a significant scale, delivering a huge variety of software in over 35 languages to more than 150 countries. Our 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, our teams remain small, nimble, and highly cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.
