About The Position

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values
that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple
Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas
stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make
something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.
It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation
that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the
best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add
something. Join our Edge team, where we provide software engineering services
and operate edge infrastructure for Apple. From Apple ID to the Apple website to
our data centers around the globe, our diverse collection of engineers,
designers and creators manage the massive systems and services that so many
people rely on every single day. We also build the custom tools that empower
other Apple employees to solve problems on their own. Joining this group means
you’ll be part of the Apple nerve center. You could play a meaningful role in
helping Apple connect with over a billion customer devices around the world. Or
you could help over 130,000 employees stay connected with each other and our
suppliers. Together, you and your team will help everyone at Apple do what they
do best: explore every possibility.
