Description
You will be working with a small, focused team to design, build, maintain, deploy, support, and enhance new and existing micro-services responsible for the management and protection of content assets within the Apple Services Engineering organization. This includes the development, maintenance, and support various Java client libraries (using HTTP, REST, JSON, and/or GRPC).
We collaborate closely with other teams across Apple to integrate our systems with theirs, and we also perform direct integration with various legacy codebases. Most of our systems have direct customer impact, so curiosity and attention to detail are essential to success.
The team is currently transitioning many of our systems from legacy bare-metal installs onto cloud-based infrastructure based on Kubernetes. This requires understanding of Kubernetes concepts and functional expertise with kubernetes and related tooling.
