Senior Software Engineer AI Frameworks

Imagine what you could do here. The people here at Apple dont just build products we craft the kind of wonder thats revolutionized entire industries. Its the diversity of those people and their ideas that supports the innovation that runs through everything we do from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple and help us leave the world better than we found Apple Services Engineering Server (ASE) Frameworks Team is one of the most exciting examples of Apples 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 Apples 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 Apples outstanding integration of hardware software and services engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep dedication to strengthening Apples privacy policy one of Apples core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apples business than ever before these teams remain small nimble and multi-functional offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here

The ASE Server Frameworks team is responsible for providing both frameworks and reference examples for Java applications and services that various ASE engineering teams build on top of. We need to provide our engineering counterparts with reliable well tested and documented frameworks. Like widely used open source frameworks these APIs and frameworks need to consider backward compatibility upgrades transitive dependencies and dependency management. As we evolve and modernize we need to rev and introduce new frameworks as appropriate. The candidate will be working with a team of other hardworking Java engineers and architects focusing on implementing a feature backlog and roadmap. The frameworks need to incorporate ASE standard methodologies and incorporate foundational support for core services like logging statistics collection distributed tracing and other critical features of services frameworks.n

Design and build AI agents and developer tooling that reduce the manual toil of framework adoption across ASE engineering large scale dependency/framework upgrades across hundreds of complex repositories with a bias toward safe verifiable and prototype new tooling directions with the autonomy to grow a good idea from spike to roadmap project.
