About Apple Inc.

At Apple, we strive to create innovative solutions that empower people's lives. Our advertising platform is designed to deliver ads in a way that benefits both customers and advertisers — helping people discover content, supporting creators, and protecting and respecting everyone's privacy.

We aim to make advertising possible on various platforms such as the App Store, Apple News, Stocks, and Apple TV. Our technology helps developers and marketers drive app discovery across the App Store, and our display ads on Apple News and Stocks let advertisers promote their products alongside trusted content in a brand-safe environment, while supporting publishers and journalists.

The Role

This position requires expertise in building scalable microservices or data-driven platforms. As an engineer, you will be responsible for designing and implementing performant services and data pipelines. Your skills in relational datastores (e.g., Postgres or Oracle) and NoSQL datastores (e.g., Cassandra or DynamoDB) are crucial for this role.

You will also need to implement low-latency, highly available, high-volume advertiser-facing systems in a cloud environment. Additionally, you should have experience with secure and scalable distributed data processing systems for campaign management.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of industry experience in building scalable microservices or data-driven platforms
  • Strong computer science fundamentals
  • Prior experience with Java/Scala/C++ or equivalent
  • Expertise in relational and NoSQL datastores
  • Proficiency in data processing technologies (e.g., Kafka, Spark, Flink)
  • Familiarity with cloud paradigms (e.g., AWS or GCP)
  • Proven ability to work on sophisticated problems and systems
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Able to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical teams

Benefits and Salary

This role comes with a competitive salary range of $207,800 - $312,200. You will also receive comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, and other perks including:

  • Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
  • Retirement benefits
  • Discounted products and free services
  • Tuition reimbursement for career development
