iOS Engineer Apple, Inc.

The Apple TV app brings together movies shows and live sports into one beautifully unified experience across Apple devices and dozens of third-party platforms. Our teams build the interfaces and interactions that millions of people rely on every day to discover watch and enjoy content they love. If you are passionate about crafting apps and experiences that ship at global scale this is your opportunity to leave a lasting mark on how the world experiences Apple.

In this role you will architect and implement sophisticated media playback features using AVFoundation CoreMedia and AVKit across iOS and related Apple platforms. You will collaborate closely with framework platform and product teams to diagnose hard problems at the intersection of media pipelines rendering and system performance. Your work will directly influence the media experience on devices used by people around the world.
