The iCloud Services team includes iCloud Platform, iCloud SRE, iCloud Data Science, and Data Engineering. The team ensures the availability, high performance, and efficiency of iCloud services, as well as security and data privacy. iCloud Services includes Enterprise and Education. Enterprise builds products and services to help organizations of all shapes and sizes do their work using Apple products, while Education delivers great teaching and learning experiences.
Apple is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to contribute to the development of the next generation of cloud services infrastructure. You’ll be working on crucial components of the iCloud platform and introducing innovative fundamental capabilities. Your work will power entirely new applications and enhance existing ones like FaceTime, PushNotifications, iCloud Drive, Photos, and Backup. This is your chance to make a real impact. You’ll collaborate with exceptional teams of engineers who genuinely love engineering and prioritize user privacy.
Description
We work on the client-side of iCloud services, building the foundations for a secure and private cloud from device to device encrypted storage in the cloud to protected computation. Apple’s commitment to privacy runs deep and this team is key to extending this commitment to the cloud.

This job entails both low-level (C/Objective C, libdispatch, POSIX APIs) and system-level skills (synchronization protocols, framework design, IPCs, multi-process performance work, system-wide resource sharing.) Reliability is essential, and we’re looking for engineers with a real passion for building complex systems that will seamlessly recover in the event of errors.
