Job description
from Apple careersOur team is on a mission to build innovative infrastructure and tools to help other engineers be more productive and make software easier to create, build and distribute. We believe that streamlining software engineering is an important part of unlocking developer creativity and innovation, and we love it when Apple customers see that in the products we ship.
We are looking for technically hands-on engineers who want to ship high-performance distributed systems that solve real-world problems at Apple scale. You would join a team of engineers who build innovative storage and backend service while tackling interesting challenges in a supportive, balanced environment.
We spend most of our time building software and automation, but equally important is the work we do collaborating with teams across Apple, understanding their operational challenges, and iterating on scalable, long-term solutions together.
