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. The Apple Cloud Networking team builds software-defined network infrastructure as a part of Apple Cloud. Our infrastructure is a critical foundation in delivering Apple’s services (such as iCloud, iTunes, Siri, Maps) to billions of customers. We are a fast paced organization where drive and collaboration are the keys to success. Teams across Apple rely critically on us for infrastructure that help them build services that scale globally, are highly available, and “just work”. We listen to different perspectives, help surface innovative ideas, and drive decisions that move us forward. As a part of the Apple Cloud Network team, you will build and operationalize platforms and solutions that will craft the future of our hyper-scale network infrastructure. We are looking for candidates who have a strong passion in building, deploying, and operating platforms that are part of large scale systems for high performance and reliability with broad experience in site reliability engineering, observability, distributed systems architecture, and networking!
