Job description
from Apple careersAt Apple, great ideas quickly become phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences. Apple Pay has brought the Apple Wallet to millions of customers worldwide, enabling them to carry digital credentials such as credit and debit cards, transit passes, hotel and car keys, theme park tickets — and now, mobile driver’s licences — all in their Apple Wallet. Building and scaling these features requires not just world-class engineering, but a deep understanding of how institutions around the world operate, implement standards, and protect user data and privacy.
You'll have the opportunity to tackle the intricate challenge of building resilient and reliable distributed software systems at Apple's scale as a Developer Platform Engineer at the intersection between data platform and operational data components and microservices architecture. 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.
The role is a hands-on contributor to our internal developer platform. You will engineer solutions contributing to both tech stacks and bring the appropriate degree of convergence. You will navigate the layers between application, platform, cloud, and infrastructure engineering. This will be coding, architecture and operational work in a DevOps team.
