Software Engineer, App Store Engineering

The App Store Engineering R&D team is looking for talented software engineers to build and update the Apps platform. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. We are looking for a self- motivated, high-energy individual with excellent communication skills who are willing to question assumptions, take end- to-end ownership of features and drive them to completion. You should have experience developing large-scale server- side systems using object-oriented languages. We're a team of consummate tech geeks who love figuring out how things work and trying to make them better. Sometimes it's a little tweak, sometimes it's a fundamental shift - usually, it's somewhere in between. We brainstorm on whiteboards, share ideas at team lunches and pot-lucks, build prototypes, present proposals to teams, embed for a while to help them get started, check the metrics, and repeat! Does this sound like you? Join our team!
