About The Position

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 Media, Graphics & Compute Technologies (MGC) group drives
core audio, video, and graphics technologies across Apple products including
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. The
MGC Audio team builds the foundation for high-impact audio experiences across
these platforms. The Audio Software Integration team is looking for a Cloud
Infrastructure Engineer to own and evolve the cloud platform behind our CI/CD
systems, enabling reliable and scalable delivery of audio software, while
supporting platform evolution across cloud and internal infrastructure
environments. This role is primarily focused on infrastructure ownership, with
opportunities to contribute directly to backend services and internal tools.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will take ownership of the cloud infrastructure platform that
supports audio software development and delivery. This includes Kubernetes
clusters, managed PostgreSQL databases, and workflow orchestration systems. You
will be responsible for ensuring the platform is reliable, scalable, secure, and
easy for partner teams to use. You will manage infrastructure through code using
Terraform and Kustomize, drive improvements to CI/CD systems, and act as the
primary point of contact for platform health and operations. You will also play
a key role in driving infrastructure migrations and platform evolution,
including transitioning workloads between cloud and internal Kubernetes
environments. While the role is infrastructure-focused, you will also have
opportunities to contribute to backend services and internal tooling in Go,
supporting application teams with API development, workflow integration, and
data modeling as needed.
