Experience with building and operating distributed systems.
Familiarity with some large infrastructure systems like Kubernetes.
Strong interest in distributed storage, observability, reliability, and cloud services.
Interest in working across different levels of the stack, including debugging OS-level issues such as memory and concurrency problems.
Ability to efficiently develop, debug, and support new technologies in a changing environment.
Pay & Benefits
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $150,400 and $277,600, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
