About the position
APPLE INC has the following available in Seattle, Washington. Add new integrations, scale current data flows, and re-imagine existing processes to accommodate developing features and architectures. This entails a deep understanding of distributed systems, Java web application development, and multiple database technologies such as Oracle and Voldemort. Working independently, drive a project from inception to production deployment with a strong focus on performance to get the most out of systems' designs and implementations, no matter what the scale. Measure, profile, and tune. Work with designers at the beginning of the product lifecycle to establish foundational components, build out the required systems to support the product, work with quality assurance to properly vet those systems, and finally deliver it to customers. With the number of customers and products Apple supports, performance is a requirement to deliver quality products. As the system evolves and gets increasingly complex, measuring and profiling each component is essential to make sure the overall system continues to function both correctly and with acceptable latency. The engineer must have the skills to understand the changes they make, measure the performance of those changes, and understand the ramifications of introducing those changes to the overall system. 40 hours/week.
