We're looking for an engineer to join the team working on defining the future of our privacy-first instrumentation capabilities. You will work at the intersection of product management and engineering with a number of cross-functional stakeholders to answer two main questions: What data should we collect for our products and services and how will we get that data from client devices while preserving privacy?

You'll be tasked with designing, launching, and supporting new data infrastructure products as vital to answer high-level analytics questions at scale.

Your responsibilities will include all aspects of software development management, from brainstorming, design and analysis to development, implementation and maintenance. Additionally, you'll be tasked with defining the strategy for new data infrastructure products as necessary to answer high-level analytics questions at scale. Finally, you will create and maintain instrumentation specifications for all new features, detailing the fields, values and when the data is collected and when for all new features released across ASE products and services.

To accomplish all this, you'll collaborate with a wide range of collaborators including product managers, client and server engineering, data scientists/business analysts, privacy engineers and attorneys, QA, and more.

You will:

• Design and implement innovative Privacy-preserving systems to be used across ASE products and services
• Design and develop frameworks and tools to collect analytics data from our products and services on all platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, web browsers, and third party platforms.
• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for client instrumentation capabilities, creating detailed specifications that provide clear guidance to engineering, data science, and QA stakeholders
• Manage the end-to-end design, launch, and support of new data infrastructure as needed to address sophisticated analytics needs, including technical system design and implementation
• Advise business and engineering team members by serving as a data collection subject-matter-expert who understands how analytics-related asks will impact numerous server and client engineering systems

-Lead discussions with privacy and legal teams to ensure that both Apple's analytics needs are met and consumer privacy is protected
