The Apple Services Engineering (ASE) Commerce group is looking for an extraordinary back-end Java software engineer to join our Account Services team. The Commerce team provides the transactional engine for App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and more. Our platform is the highest volume digital content store in the world, serving billions of transactions daily in more than 130 countries. We strive to provide a flawless purchase and subscription experience for our millions of customers and developers all over the world!
As a Software Engineer on the Account Services team, you’ll build and evolve the secure, high-scale systems that power our platform’s most critical user flows. You’ll design and launch new account features, strengthen our security posture through industry-leading best practices, and modernize legacy systems by adopting the newest technologies. You’ll be responsible for developing secure account experiences and rapidly resolving customer-impacting issues. This position demands someone who can operate in ambiguity, make sound technical decisions under pressure, and translate complex requirements into scalable, maintainable systems.
- Design, build, and maintain secure, scalable account systems end-to-end - including building RESTful APIs, microservices, databases, automated tests, tooling, monitoring and alerting dashboards, etc.
- Partner with engineering and cross-functional teams to architect solutions and coordinate complex programs. Take ownership of a broad domain and operate as the subject-matter expert others rely on for clarity and direction.
- Triage and debug customer-impacting issues, diving into unfamiliar areas as needed, and turning ambiguous problems into clear, actionable fixes.
- Mentor and support other teammates to help build a cohesive, high-performing engineering team.
- 3+ years of software engineering experience implementing and maintaining critical systems at scale.
- Outstanding analytical problem-solving, debugging, and diagnostic skills.
- Willing to take ownership and set direction, and thrive navigating any ambiguity in your projects.
- BS degree, preferably in Computer Science or related experience.
- Experience with security protocols, authentication and authorization mechanisms, and abuse-defense patterns.
- Experience with load balancing, autoscaling, traffic shaping, distributed systems debugging, and incident response.
- Proficiency with observability tooling - metrics, logs, and performance troubleshooting.
- Strong commitment to automated testing, including integration, load, and end-to-end testing.
