Apple Thoughts: Looking for a Job at Apple?

"Apple appears to be making plans to add a dash of Cupertino magic to mapping and is searching for an iPhone Software Engineer to join the iPhone and iPod touch Maps team, MacRumors informs."

From the job listing, "The iPhone and iPod touch Maps team is looking for a proactive and hardworking software engineer to join our team." And further, "As an engineer on the Maps team, your responsibilities will range from implementing low-level client/server code to implementing high-level user interfaces. You'll be responsible for implementing new and innovative features, fixing problems and enhancing the performance of Maps. You will work closely with the other engineers on the Maps team, other iPhone and iPod touch teams as well our partners in other companies." The ad also states they want to take maps to the "next level" so conjecture is that they may be going outside Google in the future, especially since Apple bought a stake in Place Base and the founder is now part of the Geo Team at Apple.
