  • Proficiency in API implementation, such as REST, RPC, and GraphQL.
  • 5 years of experience in building large scale distributed systems in Java, Python, or similar languages.
  • Proficient in SQL and conducting performance analysis and troubleshooting large scale distributed systems.
  • B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional work experience.
  • Proficiency in data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools for building, testing, deploying, and releasing containerized software applications on cloud-based Kubernetes.
  • Experience working with Gen AI and distributed orchestration and computing systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, test, document, improve, and maintain code primarily in Java and Python.
  • Participate in all aspects of projects from planning to design to implementation.

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
