Apple, Inc.

We’re perfectionists. Idealists. Inventors. Forever tinkering with products and processes, always on the lookout for better. Whether you work at one of our global offices, offsite, or even at home, a job at Apple will be demanding. But it also rewards bright, original thinking and hard work. And none of us here would have it any other way.

Where do you see yourself at Apple?

-- Siri — Apple’s Siri is looking for exceptional engineers, designers, and project managers well versed in machine learning, natural language, speech recognition, server automation, and/or mobile software development. Siri is used on countless iOS, tvOS and watchOS devices and handles over a billion requests per week. Note that in addition to Cupertino, we are hiring in many locations such as Seattle, Pittsburgh, Beijing, Cambridge MA and Cambridge UK too.

If you’re passionate about Music, Productivity, or one of a variety of our open positions, you’ll be right at home.

Apply online or send a resume to steve_rath@apple.com

-- SEAR -- Security Engineering & Architecture is looking for engineers who can help make sense of complex hardware and software systems, distilling essential qualities, threat models, and vulnerabilities from volumes of structured data. We are looking for backend engineers able to build scalable services — ingesting, storing and querying complex graph-relational data from diverse sources. Requiring no specialized security skills (though such skills are valued), this role is a unique opportunity to be part of the team that architects and delivers groundbreaking security to more than a billion devices. Also within SEAR, the Trusted Execution team is looking for engineers to help define and build some of the most important security technologies in Apple’s operating systems. If you have a background or interest in building a new malware detection and remediation capability, we’d like to hear from you.

Apply online (1 (https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200196517/security-infr... (https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200201014/trusted-execu...)) or send a resume to dwooden+hn@apple.com

-- FEAR — Apple's Fraud & Security (FEAR) team — is responsible for protecting Apple’s users and the services they rely on. We’re hiring for software engineers with 2+ years experience who love building large-scale distributed solutions to protect hundreds of millions of users. We're looking to hire in our Cupertino, Austin and Vancouver offices.

If interested send your resume to fear-eng-hiring@group.apple.com with [HN] in the email subject.

-- Developer Ecosystem — Do you thrive on variety, collaboration, and facilitating solutions to hard software engineering challenges? Are you looking to continually apply the best practices of your craft with peers from multiple areas of Software Development across multiple internal and external partners? Partner Engineering is a role focused on improving our software ecosystem. Some of the ways it can be improved is by working closely with our partner external software developers, helping them land technology transitions and stay modern with platform best practices. Our team listens to their requirements, goals and enhancement requests and translates those into improvements in our own APIs or features when applicable. We work with our internal teams to understand what’s needed of our external partners as we develop new technologies and products, and then work with those partners to find the most efficient way to meet those needs. Translating this knowledge into more clearly defined features, APIs, samples, patches or new direction are possible paths to success in the team!

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. Last year we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...). Earlier this year we acquired SlideShare (https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/11/scribd-acquires-slideshare...). We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality, communication, and hacking skills than what languages and technologies you’ve used so far.

We are hiring software engineers across the board (see https://www.scribd.com/careers), including:

* Technical Lead Manager for SlideShare: we are looking for a strong tech lead with some engineering management experience (or interest to get into management) to lead a lean and impactful team. You’ll work on the ground floor of revitalizing SlideShare and to find ways of bringing the value of Scribd to SlideShare users. (If you are interested, please reach out to me directly: adrian at scribd.com)

* The Payments team is looking for mid-level to senior engineers to help us build smart payment systems. Our mission is to grow revenue with sophisticated, reliable and secure international payments.

We are hiring for two positions: https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/9a29a357-4a39-47f0-a79a-b4c77b1... and https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/5743db19-7a5e-4875-af2f-1be8def...

* The Data Engineering team is in need of Senior Engineers onsite in our San Francisco office, onsite in our Toronto office, or remote within the United States. Our mission is to delivery analytical and behavior datasets to our internal customers. We work with very large datasets and ensure we can build them to be reliable, scalable and maintainable and support numerous teams within Scribd, for example Business Analytics and Data Science just to name a couple. We are looking for folks who have a passion for developing data pipelines on modern data engineering platforms. Experience with streaming technologies and Spark are a strong plus. https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/46a9ef46-d214-483d-be09-f811c8b...

We have hired many people from these HN threads, including myself (back in 2012!). If you have specific questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to our roles - recruiters/agencies: please do not contact me).

Expel | Software and Test Engineers | Full-time | Remote (U.S. only) or Onsite (northern Virginia whenever we re-open the office!) We are building cybersecurity technology that create space for you to do what you love about security (even if it's not thinking about it). Managed security: 24x7 detection, response, and resilience. We spot attacks and provide immediate answers. Recommendations are specific and data-driv…

This looks like interesting work. If I could ask a question, I notice that the first role you listed specifies proficiency in a JavaScript framework as a requirement, but the Senior Customer Value Engineer role does not mention it. Is that because the latter role is more backend-focused? I'm proficient with Go and Python, and comfortable with and fond of JavaScript, but not banging out new React web sites every day, for instance.

Svayu IT (www.svayu.in)

We create technologies for Indic languages and scripts. Indic scripts' unique way to create sounds (with 52 consonants and 12 vowels) means we need innovative ways to type fast and accurately. Our innovative mobile keyboard will create vast amounts of Indic-script data. We aim to acquire a large fraction of 400M Indian users who don't use mobiles for lack of understanding English keyboards and other interfaces. This is an entirely new demographic that will use internet services in 2020's.

Location no bar, we are physically located in Goa, India. You may want to join us and continue to work from Goa for any other folks you serve!

We look forward to work with full-stack developers (mainly Android/Java) and AI/ML specialists as CXOs and tech-leads.

Thanks a lot for engaging, we look forward to hearing from you.

Shukriya!

(Please don't use visual gimmicks, like ASCII art, in these job posts. I've taken that bit out now.

There's nothing wrong with it in principle, but it starts a sort of attention-grabbing arms race which isn't a good fit for HN.)
