Job description
Job Title: Sr. Android Engineer - Apple Music

About the Role:

The team is more than a group of engineers — it's a group of music lovers. That passion has made Apple Music the world's most complete music experience, with over 60 million songs, thousands of playlists, and daily selections from music experts for 115 countries.

The data-driven engineers focus relentlessly on the customer experience by running worldwide experiments and analyzing usage and latency, while collaborating with Apple's product groups. As a result, someone can use the Shazam app to identify an intriguing song in a café in the morning, add it to their playlist from Apple Watch, listen to it through their AirPods on their commute, and share it with their family on HomePod at dinnertime.

And there's more where that came from, because personalization powered by machine learning and music science helps listeners discover more of what they love. Apple Music is a big part of Apple's business because it's a big part of people's lives.
