Seattle, Washington, United States

Software and Services

Summary

Posted: Jun 25, 2025

Weekly Hours: 40

Role Number: 200606969

Apple Services Engineering powers beloved services like Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Podcasts, and more. Behind the scenes, our internal platforms help ensure creative and technical quality at scale. Our team builds the critical tools used to review media content before it reaches global audiences. We’re looking for a senior front-end engineer who can take ownership of the web experience, bring technical depth, and collaborate across disciplines.

Thanks to Apple’s unique integration of hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep dedication to strengthening Apple’s privacy policy, one of Apple’s core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple’s business than ever before, these teams remain small, nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.

Description

You’ll be the primary front-end engineer on a focused pod within a 20+ person team, building internal video and media tooling used by teams supporting Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Sports. This is a high-impact, highly autonomous role ideal for someone who can balance UI polish with deep system understanding.

You should be comfortable navigating a complex codebase, proposing UI architecture, and collaborating closely with backend and product partners. Our stack includes React/Svelte and TypeScript on the front end, with Java/Kotlin/Python services. While the role is front-end focused, the ability—or eagerness—to work across the stack is highly valued. You’ll partner closely with backend peers and be empowered to explore across the stack in an environment that values technical depth and curiosity.
