Description
The Apple Media Products Commerce Engineering team manages purchases from all iOS products, including Apps, Music, and Subscriptions. This scale is truly unprecedented and requires tremendous thinking to develop new initiatives and maintain existing systems.
We are looking for a self-starting, energetic individual who is not afraid to question assumptions or charge head-first into gray areas. Excellent written and oral interpersonal skills are a must to collaborate in our cross-functional environments. The ideal candidate should have several years of experience managing multiple projects with agressive timelines in developing large-scale web-based applications using object-oriented languages. Excellent understanding of JVM performance optimisations, relational databases and data-modeling techniques are needed, and Cassandra or other NoSQL knowledge are a plus. We are primarily a Java shop.
You will perform analysis, derive strategies, and write code to ensure that all Apple Media Products' financial transactions maintain key characteristics. This includes ACID integrity, scalability, availability, fault tolerance, and security. We will find opportunities for software reuse across problem domains. Similarly for design and code components/libraries/frameworks to support that reuse, and refactor code to achieve higher levels of use in the codebase. Using 3rd party and hand-rolled solutions, we will build infrastructure for caching, messaging, and workflow management, that will be used by other teams in the Commerce group.
