The Apple Media Products Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology.

These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services.

That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening Apple’s privacy policy, one of Apple’s core values.
