Description

At Apple, we believe the people who build our products deserve systems built with that same care. That belief is what drives People Systems. Behind every revolutionary hardware launch, breakthrough service, and magical customer experience are the passionate people who make it all possible.

This is our pursuit: to be the unseen force behind a world-class employee experience for the most exceptional people on Earth - realized through obsessively crafting and caring for the systems that hire, reward, and support our talent as they grow, thrive, and do the best work of their lives.

When you engineer for People Systems, your users are Apple's most vital asset: its People. We are seeking an exceptional Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for clean domain architecture, high-concurrency Java micro-services, and resilient event-driven systems.

Our backend services handle millions of transactions across recruiting workflows, payroll processing, benefits enrollment, and compensation management. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll architect and own Java micro-services at the core of these platforms. The work is technically demanding: high-concurrency event-driven systems, complex domain modeling with country-specific business rules and distributed transactions with strong consistency requirements.

Collaboration is central to how we work. You'll partner with product managers and cross-functional engineering teams to understand problems deeply before reaching for solutions. The best engineers here are the ones who ask "why" before "how."

If you care deeply about precision, data integrity, and crafting platforms where scale meets human empathy, come join us to do the best work of your life.

","responsibilities":"Lead the end-to-end design and coding of modular, domain-driven microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native technologies.

Build and scale distributed event streams and micro-services handling complex, high-concurrency enterprise workloads.

Design APIs with strong contracts and clear versioning - so that dozens of consuming teams can build confidently without coordination overhead

Ensure absolute data integrity, consistency, and privacy across high-stakes domains.
