The Apple Services Engineering (ASE) team is looking for an engineer to join the team working on defining the future of our privacy-first instrumentation capabilities. You will work at the intersection of product management and engineering with a number of multi-functional collaborators to answer two main questions: What data should we collect for our products and services and how will we get that data from client devices while preserving privacy?
Requirements
- Proven experience in Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for large-scale distributed systems
- Experience with differential privacy, private data-synchronization across systems and devices, data minimization, tokenization, cryptography
- Strong software design skills, coupled with a deep knowledge of data structures and algorithms
- 5+ years of professional experience with some or all of the following: data or analytics systems, frameworks or toolkits, Swift, Objective-C, JavaScript, C/C++, Java, TypeScript, React, Angular, Ember, Vue
Responsibilities
- Design and implement innovative Privacy-preserving systems to be used across ASE products and services
- Design and develop frameworks and tools to collect analytics data from our products and services on all platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, web browsers, and third party platforms.
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for client instrumentation capabilities, creating detailed specifications that provide clear guidance to engineering, data science, and QA stakeholders
- Manage the end-to-end design, launch, and support of new data infrastructure as needed to address sophisticated analytics needs, including technical system design and implementation
- Advise business and engineering team members by serving as a data collection subject-matter-expert who understands how analytics-related asks will impact numerous server and client engineering systems
- Lead discussions with privacy and legal teams to ensure that both Apple’s analytics needs are met and consumer privacy is protected
Other
- Ability to assist in the creation and enforcement of privacy and compliance policies and guidelines across ASE and Apple
- 5+ years of experience working as a software engineer, technical product manager, or engineering-focused management consultant
- Experience working with large, multi-functional teams spread across multiple locations
- Comfort with translating ambiguous high-level analytics questions into concrete engineering asks
- Clear and concise communication
- Strong prioritization skills with the ability to balance multiple programs simultaneously with overlapping deadlines
- BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience
