Responsibilities

• The App Store Connect team is looking for an experienced Backend Java Engineer to help evolve the core services that developers depend on every day. You’ll join a team responsible for designing and scaling backend systems that manage app distribution, testing, and developer workflows — with opportunities to enhance these systems using AI/LLM techniques.
• This role blends proven backend engineering practices with forward-looking approaches in intelligent automation and data-driven insights. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, contribute to architecture decisions, and lead the development of services that are performant, resilient, and continually improving.
• Design, build, and optimize scalable backend services and APIs in Java to support App Store Connect workflows.
• Evolve backend architectures for reliability, maintainability, and performance at global scale.
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities, including LLM prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and evaluation, into production systems where they improve workflows or deliver new insights.
• Develop intelligent automation and agentic workflows, including orchestration and contextual data handling.
• Collaborate with design, product, and AI/ML teams to bring smart features from concept to production.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that upholds Apple’s high standard of engineering excellence.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and production troubleshooting, sharing knowledge and elevating quality across the team.
