Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.
We’re looking for a strong Engineering Program Manager with a solid track record of building and driving sophisticated software strategies, tools and processes that deliver new end-to-end experiences that delight customers. Apple Services Engineering is an exciting environment and a dynamic development organization. With customers around the world, we are a fast-growing marketplace for music, movies, TV shows, books, podcasts, and, of course, apps. Successful Program Managers are responsible for shipping platforms & features.

This is a hands-on position where the Program Manager will be involved in requirements analysis, functional and technical design discussions, testing, proofs-of-concept, and more. This is not a task-based job; you will be responsible for successful outcomes and delivery.
