Responsibilities

• Our team works on evolving a set of innovative distributed backend services and tools. You’ll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established distributed system techniques in order to achieve high performance, reliability and long-term maintainability. You'll analyze problem requirements, existing solutions, and available systems and make operational decisions about how to deploy, configure and monitor production systems, considering both medium and long-term goals.
• Once solutions are identified, you will work alongside our team to implement them while developing appropriate testing and operational mechanisms. You will be most successful here as a flexible and proactive engineer who thrives in a supportive, respectful, and balanced work environment with interesting and challenging problems to tackle. You will be responsible for continuous improvements to our development, deployment and observability of our services and platforms. You have excellent judgement and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions. You know how to drive constructive discussion of design and operations, learn from your team, and use your experience to advocate and teach others.
• Here you’ll find that we:
• • Have a wide range of experience, from new engineers to Apple veterans.
• • Provide a professional, engaging and flexible work environment.
• • Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture.
• • Encourage you to use accrued vacation time and maintain a healthy work-life balance!
• Spend the majority of your time working on distributed services engineering, tooling, and contributing to operational standards used across the organization.
• Collaborate with your teammates to help refine problem requirements and work with teams to implement long-lasting solutions.
• Engage with other teams to help identify issues and establish long-term relationships that include knowledge sharing.
• Provide valuable feedback loops to engineering teams backed by application metrics and log data.
• Drive areas of service scalability (resiliency, redundancy, performance).
• Develop expertise and take ownership over components critical to Apple’s success.
• Contribute to engineering a high-performance system through algorithm design, optimization, and performance testing.
• Design new ways to scale Apple’s distributed services to ever-increasing problem sizes.
• Analyze and improve the operability of our services and tools.
