Senior Software Platform Engineer, Apple Pay
Apple, New York, New York
The role
This is a software engineering role on the team that builds the platform itself. The primary output is design and code. You will design the APIs, write the production code behind them, and own the performance and correctness of systems that engineering teams across the organization depend on daily.
What you need
6+ years building and operating production backend or infrastructure systems. Strong programming ability in Go, or in Java, Kotlin, C++ or a comparable statically typed language, with solid fundamentals in API design, concurrency and error handling. A real testing practice. You write tests that would catch a regression rather than tests that restate the implementation. Distributed systems experience covering idempotency, eventual consistency, retries and partial failure, plus practical performance work where you profiled something and measured the fix.
