Design and build the next generation of analytical data products for Apple's Wallet, Payments & Commerce — from instrumentation specs to last-mile datasets and interactive Visualization. Serves as a hands-on Data Product & BI Lead, driving end-to-end delivery of scalable, privacy-first analytics platforms that power trusted insights across the organization.

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something — you'll add something.

Our culture is about getting things done iteratively and rapidly, with open feedback and debate along the way; we believe analytics is a team sport, but we strive for independent decision-making and taking smart risks. Our team collaborates deeply with partners across product, design, engineering and business teams: our mission is to drive innovation by providing the business and data scientist partners best in class systems and tools to make decisions that improve the customer experience. This will include leveraging large and complex data sources, helping derive actionable insights, delivering dynamic and intuitive decision tools, and bringing our data to life via interactive self serve decision tooling with an eye to meet high standards of trust, accuracy, legal and privacy compliance.

The ideal candidate is a self-motivated team player, skilled in a broad set of data product tools and techniques with a strong sense of Apple design philosophy. The candidate will have the ability to adapt and learn quickly, provide results with limited direction, and choose the best possible path forward at all times.
