Summary

The Apple Services Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s 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 37 languages to more than 175 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.

We're on the lookout for an accomplished engineer with a deep passion for AI/ML to orchestrate our mission of crafting mind-blowing canonical knowledge graph in Apple's Music, Books, and Podcasts domains.

This team isn't just about data; we are about transforming information into a powerhouse source of truth for Music, Books, and Podcasts metadata at Apple!
