You will be a critical part of the DevOps/SRE team for a high-performing, low latency enterprise application. You will be responsible for planning and design of new infrastructure, contributing to the deployment architecture of core functionality and future planning for this exciting endeavor. We need someone who is something of a generalist - a savant who can work on load balancers one day and optimize database performance the next. The ideal candidate has a strong mix of education and practical experience, and loves diving in to interesting problems head first. This role requires your to operate, monitor, and triage applications in the production and non-production environments, ensuring reliability, scalability and performance across its low-latency, active/active cloud infrastructure. The role will require you to architect, build, and own robust CI/CD pipelines and automation systems, from design through long-term maintenance. Operate, monitor, and triage applications in the production and non-production environments, ensuring reliability across its low-latency, Active/Active, and cloud infrastructure. Independently architecting, building, and owning robust CI/CD pipelines and automation systems, from design through long-term maintenance. Owning the reliability, scalability, and performance of high-availability, globally distributed cloud infrastructure powering Apple.
