Job description
We are looking for senior full stack engineer who has experience integrating with hardware to help lead the next generation of products we build. You should like solving problems that no one has solved yet and care about the impact of your product. You are more passionate about solving the problem than the single solution you developed. If this describes you then we should meet.

This is a rare opportunity to put your signature on how Apple manufactures everything. You are going to work closely with product design and the mechanical engineering team on new products. You will be architecting and building the infrastructure and API's for applications that support the development of every product Apple makes. This also means writing the code to control a laser, or even better lasers on sharks, while simultaneously controlling hawks from an API.

Our current stacks are diverse and evolving combinations of old and new, closed and open source technologies. We are not looking for a solution for now; we are looking for the best solution for tomorrow. We are an ambitious team that takes smart risks and challenges everything -- including each other. None of us are the best at everything but all are the best at something. As we scale and evolve the supporting infrastructure for such diverse technologies it becomes crucial to understand the entire stack to help investigate, log, monitor and optimize.

We are always looking for better ways of solving the problems we are tasked with and always open to the best tool for the job. In some cases this means an Ember.js web application supported by a Go-powered API interfacing with Couchbase, while in others it may leverage a simple bash script, Node.js or Ruby+Rails and ElasticSearch or a more traditional RDBMS like Postgres.
