Weekly Hours: 40

Role Number: 200657706-2459

Summary

Are you ready to make a significant impact on how one of the world's largest analytics organizations moves, serves, and governs its data? If you are passionate about building high-performance, reliable platform services at internet scale, we would love for you to apply! The Apple Services Data Science & Analytics organization drives decisions that improve the customer experience, accelerate growth, and uncover new business opportunities while respecting user privacy and adhering to regulatory policy. We work on some of the largest e-commerce and media streaming businesses in the world and have an incredible team collaborating on the best ways to improve these services for our customers! Our culture is built on rapid iteration, open debate, and independent thinking - we take calculated risks and work as analytical advisors across product, design, engineering, marketing, editorial, legal, and business teams.

Description

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Services Data Science & Analytics Platform Engineering team, you will design, build, and operate the backend services that form the foundation of DS&A's data platform.

This is high-stakes infrastructure work: every downstream consumer in DS&A and Services broadly depends on what you build. A great fit for this role is someone who thinks deeply about distributed systems, obsesses over reliability and performance, and takes pride in building platform primitives that other engineers love to build on.

Expert proficiency in Python or Node.js/TypeScript - including async programming, @type safety, and framework-level development (FastAPI, Express, or equivalent)

Demonstrated experience designing and operating distributed systems with strict reliability and latency SLAs

Strong proficiency with API design and service-to-service communication patterns (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, or equivalent)

Hands-on experience with multi-layer caching architectures (in-process, Redis, or similar) and cache invalidation strategies

Proficiency with Kubernetes, deployment, HPA, StatefulSets, namespace management

BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building systems that integrate with distributed and high-performance data stores - Snowflake, Trino, Spark, PostgreSQL, or equivalent

Observability practice, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent

Experience building data catalog, metadata, or lineage systems

Familiarity with Apache Iceberg or other open table formats

Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and enforcement gates in large engineering organizations

Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure or experience integrating LLM-powered capabilities into platform services
