You will ensure that language and local market requirements are understood and supported from a technical perspective. You will find opportunities for software reuse across problem domains, design and code components/libraries/frameworks to support that re-use, and refactor code to achieve higher levels of leverage in the codebase. Using 3rd party and hand-rolled solutions, you will build reusable capabilities that will be used by other teams in the Commerce group. Be ready to make something extraordinary when you come here. Dynamic, inspiring people and innovative, industry-defining technologies are the norm at Apple. The people who work here have reinvented and defined entire industries with our products and services.
