Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
• Focus: Satellite connectivity platform for critical Apple communications services

Description

Build, monitor, and maintain large-scale, highly resilient systems that enable satellite-based communications for iPhone and Apple Watch users. Contribute to distributed systems, architecture design, and cloud infrastructure as code, owning end-to-end infrastructure components (provisioning, monitoring, deployment, and software tooling). Join a team with a no-ops culture—emphasis on writing software and building platforms rather than only operating them.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver end-to-end infrastructure supporting satellite communications services
• Develop distributed systems and architecture for critical customer-facing services
• Build and operate an enabling platform used by millions of customers
• Implement provisioning, monitoring, deployment, and software tooling for the platform
• Scale services globally using software-driven problem solving

Requirements

• Deep understanding of observability
• Familiarity with monitoring and alerting platforms such as Prometheus, Splunk, Grafana, and Alertmanager
• Experience building and operating multi-clustered, highly available services
• Proven experience creating and optimizing real-time and batch data processing pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Spark, Flink, Beam)
• Core Kubernetes concepts
• Experience with modern web-scale services (servers, VIPs, load balancers, proxies)
• Strong understanding of Linux internals
• Experience with CI/CD systems
• Experience with GitOps workflows
• Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Pulumi and Terraform

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape and build critical services that support Emergency SOS, Roadside assistance, and Messages via satellite
• Rare chance to build and control the full end-to-end infrastructure and tooling stack
• Work in a team culture focused on building and scaling platforms through software
