About the role
We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.
Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.
An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.

At Apple, we focus deeply on our customers' experience. Apple Ads brings this same approach to advertising, helping people find exactly what they are looking for and helping advertisers grow their businesses. Our technology powers ads and sponsorships across Apple Services, including the App Store, Apple News, Apple Maps, MLS Season Pass, and F1.

The Data Products Engineering team is seeking versatile data engineers to build, extend, and operate the near-real-time and batch pipelines at the heart of Apple Ads, and to help design and improve them as you grow. You will ship features, schema changes, backfills, and improvements to petabyte-scale funnel and aggregate pipelines, including privacy-preserving critical pipelines, with strong ownership of quality, reliability, and time to delivery. Depending on your level, you will also own the design of pipeline components, drive reliability and efficiency improvements, and mentor other engineers. You will join a team of world-class data engineers with an appetite for applying leading-edge technologies, and collaborate closely with your pod and with the business to deliver relevant data and insight. This is a high-velocity, AI-native role: you will use AI agents daily to move fast without cutting corners on correctness. You should have 5 plus years of data engineering experience, ideally within the ads or media space, a strong understanding of scalable approaches, and the ability to thrive and stand out under tight deadline constraints in Agile environments. We will calibrate the level and scope to your experience.
