Senior Site Reliability Engineer

The Media Platforms SRE team under the Apple Service Engineering division 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 on a massive scale, meeting

Apple’s high expectations with high performance 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. That vision always includes

a deep commitment to strengthening Apple’s privacy policy, one of Apple’s core

values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple’s business than ever

before, these teams remain small, forward-thinking, and cross-functional,

offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.
