The Apple Media Products Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology.

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, nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.

We look for phenomenal teammates who are able to solve problems and deliver visionary solutions. The team builds tools and systems to scale and optimize Apple’s Original Content post-production workflows. Our entire tech stack is on cloud-based infrastructure, from the UI to the data, and everything in between. The ideal Back-End engineer will understand how to model data to enable efficient video file-based workflows, and how to build the secure and scalable APIs and services to power all of our products.
