Summary

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. The Apple Pay Server Engineering team is building the world’s best software for paying and interacting with the world, from Apple Pay, transit, and event tickets, to digital keys and identity.

Our team in London is growing and we are looking for engineers who are passionate about their craft, crave the challenge of building systems at scale, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If you love solving meaningful problems that impact millions of people, we want to hear from you!

Description

Weʼre looking for someone who is excited by the possibility of growing as a software engineer at Apple.

This isnʼt just about writing code: you'll have the opportunity to tackle the intricate challenge of building resilient and reliable distributed software systems at Apple's scale. You will be given flexibility to explore creative solutions, the support of a talented and driven team, and access to diverse technologies. You will have the autonomy and responsibility to take full ownership of your solutions.

You'll join a team involved in every stage of the product and software development lifecycle and will design, build, test, deliver, and maintain exceptional software that truly makes a difference. In this fast-paced environment, you'll be hands-on in all phases, and will actively shape the architecture and design of our platforms through the experience of operating, monitoring, and providing on-call support for the software you build.

As a key member of the team, you’ll participate in technical discussions, write specifications, review code, and produce documentation. Success in this role therefore requires strong self-motivation, crisp and clear communication, a highly collaborative approach, and the ability to work effectively across teams and disciplines.

This position will initially concentrate more on learning than on responsibility, working under the mentorship of more experienced engineers in order to gain understanding of our products and services, as well as how the company works. Here at Apple there is always the opportunity to take on more responsibility when you feel ready for it. That may be for a component of a solution, a whole new feature, or an entire cross-functional project.

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrable ability to write code in a modern, object-orientated programming language (JVM-based, C# etc.)
• Experience of developing software that has been deployed into production
• Enthusiastic about high quality software engineering, with an aptitude, willingness, and drive to learn
• Great communication skills - an ability to communicate thoughtfully and clearly, both verbally and in writing, to discuss complex technical concepts
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g. Postgres, Aurora, DynamoDB)
• Experience of developing high volume applications
• Experience in using Cloud-based infrastructure
• An appreciation for, and understanding of, security, privacy, and cryptographic concepts
  
  

At Apple, we’re not all the same. And that’s our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think. Because to create products that serve everyone, we believe in including everyone. Therefore, we are committed to treating all applicants fairly and equally. As a registered Disability Confident employer, we will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations. Apple will consider for employment all qualified applicants with criminal backgrounds in a manner consistent with applicable law. Learn more
