Ever wondered how your iMessage instantly and reliably finds its way across the globe, or how an iPhone can reach Emergency Services from the middle of nowhere? That's us. The Messaging Services team builds the ultra-high-scale, critical backend services that form the communication backbone for Apple's whole ecosystem. Our services are the silent, reliable engine behind iMessage, FaceTime calls, Emergency SOS via Satellite, HomeKit device control, and a host of other device-to-device features that our customers trust with their most meaningful moments. We operate at the scale of millions of messages per second. We thrive on solving challenges in distributed systems, low-latency networking, and novel communication protocols to connect over a billion devices, securely and privately.

Do you grow with solving complex distributed systems problems where performance, security, privacy, and reliability are paramount? If so, we want you to join our team. As an engineer on the Messaging Services team, you will design, build, and operate the services that enable Apple's critical communication features. Your role will encompass the full software development lifecycle: from ideation and architectural design to hands-on development, rigorous testing, and live service operations for a global audience. You will be responsible for building new features, scaling for the next billion devices, and ensuring the rock-solid reliability and privacy that our customers expect. You will represent our team, leading critical projects and collaborating with partners across Apple-from iOS and hardware engineering to security and privacy-to deliver flawless new experiences. We are looking for a deeply technical, hands-on engineer who is not afraid to dive into complex problems and share their great ideas. You should have a profound sense of ownership and a personal dedication to the quality and reliability of the services you build. This is a high-visibility role with immense opportunity. The systems you build will be an integral part of the Apple experience for years to come, and your work will help define the future of how people and their devices connect.
