We are looking for a forward-thinking self-starter to join our App Processing team within Apple Services Engineering. Our team owns the systems and pipelines that validate, ingest, sign, thin, and process every app uploaded to the App Store. Few teams have as broad an involvement in Apple's product pipeline as ours. We are a highly collaborative group with deep knowledge of software engineering and a shared commitment to building resilient, high-performance, and maintainable systems. In this role, you will: * Design and implement the processing logic for apps that exercise new capabilities in future devices and upcoming versions of iOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. * Build functionality that analyzes apps on ingest, extracting and storing metadata displayed on the App Store and used in its review and curation processes. * Enhance the workflows by which apps are thinned, encrypted, signed, and packaged for distribution to TestFlight and the App Store. We are looking for someone who is not afraid to question assumptions, thrives under tight deadlines, and brings excellent communication and collaboration skills to the team. Does this sound like you?
