The Commerce team provides the transactional engine for App Store, iTunes Music Store, Apple Music, iBook Store, Apple TV+ and more. Our platform is the highest volume digital content store in the world, serving millions of transactions daily in more than 130 countries. Would you like the stimulation and challenges of building a world-class, extraordinary scalable commerce platform? Then this is the opportunity for you at Apple! We strive to provide a flawless purchase and subscription experience for millions of customers and developers. You’ll build services and application components, shared across applications, to support very high levels of transactional integrity, scalability, availability, fault tolerance, and security. You will also contribute to the architecture, design and implementation of top-level user visible features, with an emphasis on identifying components that can be used across different scenarios and domains. We are looking for a self-starting, ambitious individual who is not afraid to question assumptions or charge head-first into gray areas. Excellent written and interpersonal skills are a must to collaborate in our multi-functional environments. You should have in-depth experience developing large-scale web-based applications using object-oriented languages. Excellent understanding of relational databases and data-modeling techniques are needed, and Cassandra or other NoSQL knowledge are a plus.

You will work on features that touch all Apple Services Engineering Commerce services — from account management, application, music, and video purchase / download / entitlement, subscription management, and a lot of new features coming to the Apple product ecosystem. You will ensure that language and local market requirements are understood and supported from a technical perspective. You will find opportunities for software reuse across problem domains, design and code components / libraries / frameworks to support that re-use, and refactor code to achieve higher levels of leverage in the codebase. Using 3rd party and hand-rolled solutions, you will build infrastructure for caching, messaging, and workflow management, that will be used by other teams in the Commerce group. Be ready to make something extraordinary when you come here. Dynamic, inspiring people and innovative, industry-defining technologies are the norm at Apple. The people who work here have reinvented and defined entire industries with our products and services. The same passion for innovation also applies to our business practices - strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
