The Apple Services Engineering (ASE) Commerce group is looking for an extraordinary Software Engineer, Playback and Media Protection that will help protect the experiences that hundreds of millions of people trust every day—from Apple TV and Apple Music to Fitness+, Podcasts, and Apple Books. Here, security isn't just a feature; it's the foundation that lets creativity and commerce thrive at an unprecedented scale. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge DRM technologies—FairPlay, PlayReady, and Widevine—and the endpoint security systems that safeguard our entire ecosystem, from device signatures to user tokens.
This is a team that doesn't just maintain what exists; it questions assumptions, explores gray areas, and builds the next generation of security infrastructure from the ground up. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or someone eager to grow into this space, you'll be empowered to drive projects from idea to production, obsess over performance and scale, and collaborate with some of the best engineers in the industry. If you're energized by big challenges and want your work to protect and power extraordinary experiences for millions of customers, this is where you belong.
