About The Position

The Insight team runs one of Apple"s most critical Big Data ecosystems — an exabyte-scale, highly-available infrastructure that underpins manufacturing operations for every Apple product, globally. Every iPhone, iPad, and Mac has touched our systems. We advance technology by relying on each other"s strengths and skills to build something bigger than ourselves. For this reason, team culture is central to our values. We value social skills and integrity as much as technical craft. The Insight team is looking for a skilled Technical Analyst to join our expanding team in China. In this role, you will serve as a technical solution provider, leveraging your deep understanding of the entire Insight platform to design data solutions for our users. It sits at the intersection of customer experience, data, and operational improvement — supporting the internal Apple teams and external manufacturing partners who depend on our platform to make critical business decisions every day. It is a role defined by the breadth of what it touches. You will develop a deep understanding of Apple"s manufacturing data ecosystem, build trusted relationships across global teams, and over time, open doors to many directions within Apple — engineering, program management, data, operations, and beyond. If you are intellectually curious, technically capable, and want to learn how Apple"s supply chain works from the inside, this is an exceptional place to start. You will work within a fast-moving operational team supporting one of Apple"s most complex and business-critical data platforms. Your work directly enables the Apple engineering and operations teams that build every Apple product.
