At Apple, we want to make great products that empower people to improve their health. We are seeking an energetic and self-sufficient data engineer to join Apple's Health Research Data team to help us define, process, and manage the data used to improve existing health experiences, as well as create new ones. You will work with health research data, including data collected from the Apple Research app. As a member of our fast-paced group, you will not only have the unique and rewarding opportunity to accelerate upcoming features that will delight and inspire millions of Apple customers every day, but also contribute to applied health research by Apple and our academic partners.
Description
We are seeking a data engineer to design and build robust data models and scalable data processing pipelines that transform complex health data.

If you believe the transformative power of data can only be fully harnessed when data management is treated as a first-class priority, this role was built for you.
In addition to using technical knowledge to drive features and improvements, you must be comfortable with rapidly evolving requirements and have excellent interpersonal skills. You will work closely with cross-functional partners across clinical, operational, product, legal, privacy, and engineering teams to gather requirements, design, implement, and manage studies through the collection, processing, and use of data. This is a high-impact, highly autonomous role for someone who pairs technical rigor with deep curiosity and an interest in making things better.
