What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior OS Software Engineer, Field Engagement & Analytics position at Apple, Inc.?
How are Apple devices used and how can they be improved? What kinds of problems do our\\nusers experience? These are the kinds of questions the SWE Data Analytics org is built to\\nanswer. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us in developing our OS data\\ncollection services. The ideal candidate will be someone experienced in developing embedded\\nsystems software with an interest in data collection techniques.\\n\\nSWE Data Analytics collects, stores, and analyzes diagnostics and usage data from Apple\\ndevices across the world, with user privacy at the core of everything we do. Our data generates\\ninsights that inform product strategies across all of software and hardware development, and\\ndirectly impacts the quality and reliability of Apple products. The on-device software that\\npowers this data pipeline will ultimately live on millions of devices worldwide, playing a critical\\nrole in helping Apple improve, create, and deliver the products that consistently delight our\\nusers.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Device Diagnostics Data team, you will take ownership of\nthe tools, daemons, and frameworks that make up the foundation of our data pipeline.
