People at Apple don't just build products - they craft the kind of experience that has revolutionized entire industries. The diverse collection of our people and their ideas inspire innovation in everything we do. Imagine what you could do here! Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
Core Data and Intelligence (CDI) is the central data, AI, and machine learning engineering team in ASE Media. We own the primitives other teams build on: privacy-compliant data collection, canonical datasets, AI and machine learning building blocks, and the visualizations that turn them into decisions.
That work shows up across Apple. It is a signal for Music recommendations, a report on the engagement of a new TV+ feature, and the Average Revenue Per User we share with developers. We partner with client and server teams to source data and to ensure collection meets Apple's high privacy standards. CDI also leads privacy engineering within ASE. Apple Services Engineering powers App Store, Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple Books, Fitness+, the iTunes Store and more.
The Data Engineering Platform (DEP) is how CDI does that work at scale. DEP builds an opinionated data engineering ecosystem that accelerates data and machine learning engineers. It includes spec-driven development, data quality, AI-driven workflows, cloud portability, CI/CD, integrated privacy and compliance, and scaled operational tooling.
We are looking for a Senior Platform Software Engineer to own the foundations of DEP. You will work across the full depth of the platform, from the command an engineer types to the infrastructure that comes up in production. You will take direct ownership of production systems and set the versioning and release standards the rest of the platform inherits.
Description
As a Senior Platform Software Engineer on DEP, you will own platform systems end to end - the API, the service, the schema, the configuration, the pipeline, and the telemetry. You will combine hands-on engineering with platform-wide thinking, and help set the technical direction the platform follows.
Design, build, and operate the Go services at the heart of the platform, and shape the declarative interface engineers build against
Own versioning and immutability as a first-class platform concern - immutable artifact publication, signing, semantic versioning across independently released components, and dependency pinning that holds from producer to consumer
Define how services ship on the platform: the deployment contract, the environment promotion model, and the Kubernetes topology that platform services and partner teams inherit
Drive operational excellence for a foundational P1 service: service level objectives, alerting that engineers trust, release provenance, and the availability and rollback posture of services as adoption grows
Own the developer experience - the command-line tool engineers use daily, project scaffolding, APIs, and documentation. Run onboarding, gather feedback from data engineering teams, and turn recurring questions into product improvements
Set technical direction: define the engineering standards adopted across CDI, an organization of roughly 550 engineers, evaluate emerging technology, mentor engineers, and help scale AI-assisted development practices across the team
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Terraform or OpenTofu beyond consumption - writing providers, managing state backends, or operating a registry, including the HashiCorp provider or module registry protocols, or any artifact registry where immutability and signing are enforced
Policy-as-code and configuration-as-code experience: Open Policy Agent and Rego applied to infrastructure change gating, and PKL, CUE, Jsonnet, or a comparable typed configuration language
Practical command of versioning and immutability in a real system: semantic versioning across independently released components, artifact promotion, dependency pinning, and reproducible builds
Experience building CLI or terminal-UI developer tools that a large engineering population depends on daily
OpenTelemetry instrumentation, and building dashboards and alerts that engineers trust
Working knowledge of mTLS-based workload identity, certificate rotation, and secret management systems
Hands-on depth in PostgreSQL or CockroachDB
Exposure to data governance, privacy engineering, or compliance-driven requirements on a platform, and comfort working with privacy and security partners
Experience as a platform team serving other engineering teams: multi-tenancy, blast radius, shared ownership models, and deprecation, with strong written communication and a track record of developer engagement through onboarding, documentation, and office hours
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent building platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing systems
Strong Go, with a track record of shipping and operating production backend services and command-line tools
Deep hands-on Kubernetes experience: Helm, per-environment configuration layering, probes, resource and replica strategy, rolling updates, and network policy
Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD pipelines and release engineering, including promotion between environments and automated rollback
Strong relational database fundamentals: schema design, indexing, transactions and isolation levels, and managed migrations in a service you operated
Solid distributed systems fundamentals, and hands-on concurrency in Go
Experience owning services in production, not only building them: on-call, incident response, telemetry, and post-incident follow-through, including taking on an established production system, building deep understanding of it quickly, and raising its operational and documentation standards
Demonstrated ability to author reusable skills or agents for AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or Copilot, adopted by other engineers, and interest in scaling these practices across a team

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Seattle, WA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Seattle compares. Among the 80 largest places in Washington, Seattle is #1 by population, #76 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #8 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, King County, is #1 of 39 counties for average pay ($132,279).
Seattle has 754,195 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.6% of the population of Washington. It covers 84 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,979 people per square mile. The median age is 35.6, 7% younger than the state median (35.6 against 38.3).
The median gross rent is $2,030 a month (rent plus utilities), 15% above the state median ($2,030 against $1,760). Over a year that is 19.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $938,600, which is 7.6 times the median household income ($123,860); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.7% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.7% against 63.8%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area has 2,086,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $72,610 a year, 42% above the national median ($72,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (212,900 jobs, median $59,660); business and financial operations (201,160 jobs, median $101,950); computer and mathematical (194,970 jobs, median $156,000). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (2.8 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($168,110) and computer and mathematical ($156,000). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of King County was 4.8%. 74.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in King County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 36.6% drive alone, 11.9% use public transit, 8.1% walk, 34.8% work from home. 13.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 18% below the state average (13.9% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
68.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 73% above the state share (68.5% against 39.6%). 20.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% above the state share (20.1% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 9.9%, about the same as the state rate (9.9% against 9.9%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 65°F (18.3°C), and the coolest is Dec at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,230 mm (48 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Nov is the wettest month (188 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Mercer Island (7 miles, rent 23% higher); Bainbridge Island (7 miles, rent 8% higher); Kirkland (9 miles, rent 18% higher); Bellevue (9 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Seattle; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
