Apple Information Systems and Technology group is looking for staff-level Java Software Engineers to design and manage systems, frameworks, and apps that countless Apple customers and employees rely on every day, improving how Apple operates and crafting magical experiences for customers.
Requirements
- 5+ years proven experience designing, implementing, and shipping high-scale, high-performance, highly available, fault-tolerant, and secure cloud-based distributed systems, including mastery in API design and implementation (e.g. REST, RPC, GraphQL, etc.).
- 5+ years proven experience using relational (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, etc.) and NoSQL (e.g. Cassandra, MongoDB, etc.) databases, including mastery in schema design, query optimization, and managing sophisticated data interactions between relational/NoSQL systems.
- 4+ years proven experience with Java, including mastery in concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization techniques.
- Mastery in OOP principles, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns (e.g. GoF), with a proven focus on implementing testable, maintainable, and extensible backend code.
- Comfortable using CI/CD tools to build, test, deploy, and release containerized software applications on cloud-based Kubernetes (e.g. AWS EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS, etc.).
- Expertise in Java web (e.g. ServiceTalk, Spring, Dropwizard, Quarkus, Micronaut, etc.) and unit testing frameworks (e.g. JUnit, Mockito, etc.).
- Experience with tooling languages (e.g. Go, Python, Ruby, etc.) and distributed orchestration & computing systems (e.g. Airflow, Spark, Flink, etc.).
Responsibilities
- architect, design, develop, test, document, improve, and maintain code mostly in Java (and other languages as needed)
- partake in every aspect of your projects, from planning to design to implementation and future iterations
- play an extended role in designing solutions, and leading software projects
- designing, implementing, and shipping high-scale, high-performance, highly available, fault-tolerant, and secure cloud-based distributed systems
- designing APIs (e.g. REST, RPC, GraphQL, etc.)
- designing schemas, query optimization, and managing sophisticated data interactions between relational/NoSQL systems
- implementing testable, maintainable, and extensible backend code
Other
- self-motivated, proactive and results-driven.
- Attention to detail, dedication to providing high-quality solutions modeling engineering excellence, and ability to work towards timely delivery of projects are all crucial qualities needed to work at Apple as a Software Engineer.
- excellent communication and collaboration skills to work with various internal and external partners, and senior leaders.
- Track record of leading software projects that spans multiple, distributed teams as a tech lead (TL), while mentoring senior-level software engineers.
- Strong understanding of advanced JVM internals (e.g. garbage collection, memory allocation, JIT, JNI, etc.).
