Senior Software Engineer, Analytics
Seattle, Washington, United States
Software and Services
The ASE Analytics & Data Engineering organization powers the analytics behind the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple Fitness+, Apple Books, Apple Wallet, and more. We’re looking for an engineer to join the team working on defining the future of our data and instrumentation capabilities. As a member of the Instrumentation team, you will work with a number of multi-functional collaborators to answer two main questions: What metrics should we collect for our media products and how will we get those metrics from client devices?
Description
You’ll be tasked with designing, launching, and supporting new metrics infrastructure products as necessary to answer high-level analytics questions at scale. Your responsibilities will include all aspects of software development management, from brainstorming, design and analysis to development, implementation and maintenance. You will also be expected to write and maintain instrumentation specifications—documents that specify what fields and values should we collect as well as what triggers this data collection—for all new features released across our media products. To accomplish all this, you’ll collaborate with a wide range of collaborators including product managers, client and server engineering, data scientists/business analysts, privacy engineers/attorneys, QA, and more.
- Develop frameworks and tools for the iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS platforms to collect analytics data from our products and services
- Write detailed client instrumentation specifications for new features across Apple’s services that provide clear guidance to engineering, data science, and QA collaborators about what data should be collected and when
- Manage the end-to-end design, launch, and support of new metrics infrastructure as needed to address complex analytics needs, including technical system design and implementation
- Advise business and engineering collaborators by serving as a data collection subject-matter-expert who understands how analytics-related asks will impact numerous server and client engineering systems
- Design innovative technologies with privacy and legal teams to ensure that both Apple’s analytics needs are met and consumer privacy is protected
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience working as a software engineer, technical product manager, or engineering-focused management consultant
- Strong software design skills, coupled with a deep knowledge of data structures and algorithms
- Experience working with large, multi-functional teams spread across multiple locations
- Comfort with translating ambiguous high-level analytics questions into concrete engineering asks
- Clear and concise communication
- Strong prioritization skills with the ability to handle multiple programs simultaneously with overlapping deadlines
