Software Engineer, iCloud Platform

Requirements

• Foundation in Computer Science fundamentals - through experience or education
• Programming proficiency in high-level languages—Swift is preferable, but other languages common in server-side ecosystems (Java, Go, Rust, C# etc.) are valued
• Experience building and evolving reliable services at scale
• Software engineering excellence—building reliable systems assured with comprehensive testing (unit, integration, system, performance)
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Experience with code review processes, collaborative development and familiarity with version control systems
• Experience with Unix-like operating systems

Nice to Haves

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage projects from design through delivery; strong technical depth in distributed systems or related areas
• Communication - Skilled in cross-functional communication and collaboration
• Experience solving complex problems across multiple layers of the stack
