Platform Software Engineer, Audio Software Integration

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values

that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple

Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas

stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make

something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.

It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation

that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the

best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something — you'll add

something. The Apple Media, Graphics & Compute Technologies (MGC) group drives

core audio, video, and graphics technologies across Apple products including

iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. The

MGC Audio team builds the foundation for high-impact audio experiences across

these platforms. The Audio Software Integration team is looking for a Platform

Software Engineer, to own and evolve the cloud platform behind our CI/CD
