Apple News app finally to the Netherlands?
The vacancy could indicate that the Apple News app will also become available in the Netherlands in the long term, although this is not yet 100% proven. The team where you will be working is called the & lsquo; News, Stocks, and Weather team & rsquo; because Apple has bundled these apps internally. Nevertheless, it would be time by now, because Apple News has been around since 2015 and was based on the Dutch app PRSS. There is an Apple News widget, but it works very differently and doesn't take your preferences into account. Since then, Apple News + has also been launched in 2019, but that too is currently only available in a handful of countries.
Apple engineer in Amsterdam
Anyone who wants to work for Apple for 38.25 hours a week and work on the apps for Apple News, Stocks and Weather can submit a resume and hopefully be invited for an interview. The team is working on the said apps for iOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS and CarPlay. To have a chance, you need to bring a lot of experience with Swift and Objective-C. You also need experience with technologies such as UIKit, CoreGraphics, CoreAnimation or SwiftUI. Working neatly and writing code with good performance is also part of the game, as is a & ldquo; passion for quality and an eye for detail & rdquo ;. But that doesn't end the list, because you also need to recognize and solve complex problems, have great communication skills and be able to work in multiple teams, while being able to motivate yourself.
In terms of education, a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or experience in app development is required.
If you don't meet all of those, there are fortunately plenty of other ways to work at Apple. There are regular retail job vacancies, which are refreshed daily. Those who prefer to work in the background can also go to the Apple Stores, for example in a technical or logistical role.
