Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. The Wallet, Payments & Commerce (WPC) team is building the world’s best software for paying, and interacting with the world, from Apple Pay, transit, and event tickets, to digital keys and identity.

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about their craft, crave the challenge of building systems at scale, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If you love solving meaningful problems that impact millions of people, we want to hear from you!

You'll have the opportunity to tackle the intricate challenge of building resilient and reliable distributed software systems at Apple's scale. You will be given flexibility to explore creative solutions, the support of a talented and driven team, and access to diverse technologies. You will have the autonomy and responsibility to take full ownership of your solutions.

You'll join a nimble team involved in every stage of the product and software development lifecycle and will design, build, test, deliver, and maintain exceptional software that truly makes a difference.

In this fast-paced environment, you'll be hands-on in all phases, and will actively shape the architecture and design of our platforms and offerings through the experience of operating, monitoring, and providing on-call support for the software you build.

As a key member of the team, you’ll participate in technical discussions, write specifications, review code, and produce documentation. Success in this role therefore requires strong self motivation, crisp and clear communication, a highly collaborative approach, and the ability to work effectively across teams and disciplines.

3+ years of experience building and maintaining complex software systems. A solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals. A commitment to continuous learning and improvement, and curiosity for new technologies, techniques, and patterns in pursuit of engineering excellence.

An ability to communicate thoughtfully and clearly, both verbally and in writing, to discuss complex technical concepts with diverse audiences, including global teams and external partners. A track record of building and sustaining healthy long-term relationships within your team, and beyond its boundaries.
