creative operations moving. Together, those functions deliver the technology

behind every product story Apple tells and every purchase a customer makes.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will

operate as a technical owner within a highly
collaborative environment that balances rapid execution with technical
excellence. You will independently drive initiatives from concept to production,
gain deep exposure to cutting-edge cloud architectures and modern tooling, and
directly shape the technical direction of the team.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
5 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or
software engineering. Solid coding skills in Go, or Python to build and extend
Kubernetes ecosystems (custom controllers, operators, admission webhooks, or
cloud-native tooling). Experience building full-stack internal tools,
integrating modern frontends (Vue, React, or Svelte) with Go or Python backends
and APIs. Experience operating infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, and
Helm. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines. Exposure to
AI-assisted or AI-infused automation in DevOps workflows (e.g., using LLM-based
tools, copilots, or intelligent agents for scripting, incident triage, or
pipeline optimization). Hands-on experience with Splunk, Prometheus, and
Grafana. BS or MS in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
education/experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
8 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or software
engineering, with a proven track record of independently owning complex systems
or initiatives from start to finish. Expert in writing idiomatic,
production-grade Go or Python to build and extend Kubernetes ecosystems,
independently designing these systems. Extensive experience architecting and
operating multi-region, high-availability infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and
Azure, with ownership of cloud cost, resilience, and scaling strategy. Proven
ability to operate with minimal direction: scoping ambiguous problems, proposing
architecture, executing, and being accountable for outcomes. Proven experience
architecting and delivering full-stack internal tools, owning the system from
design through production. Proven experience in Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm,
including designing reusable modules and adopting organizational-level IaC
standards. Proven ownership of build/release systems and CI/CD pipelines at
scale, including designing pipeline architecture, improving reliability, and
reducing release friction. Hands-on experience designing and building AI-powered
automation for DevOps, including LLM-powered runbooks, autonomous remediation
agents, anomaly detection pipelines, and AI-assisted code/infra review tools,
with a proven track record of team adoption.
