Role Number:200581454
The Apple Services Engineering team (ASE) is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology. These are the people who power the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. And they do it at an extensive scale, meeting our high expectations with dedication to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 35 languages to more than 150 countries.
These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services.
Thanks to Apple’s unique integration of hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision.
