Job description

Apple is where individual creativities capture together, contributing 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.

Working cross-functionally, you will partner closely with applications, tooling, and data analytics teams to drive improvements in our player stack and launch new features. Our team crafts the protocols, implementations, and services that deliver industry-leading multimedia experiences to all of our customers. This role offers an incredible opportunity to learn from world-class experts across multiple disciplines both within Apple and in the industry.
