382 jobs for "IT Systems Engineer Senior"

iCloud Foundation is looking for an experienced software engineer to help build the platform layer that Apple's cloud services are built on. Our customers are Apple engineers, and the software we write is what lets their teams spend their time on product instead of on the infrastructure underneath it.

Description

iCloud serves billions of customers across a globally distributed, multi-tenant estate, and every improvement to the layer beneath it makes every team above it faster. The problems here are the ones every service team would otherwise solve for itself, such as how a service is configured while it is running, how a change reaches users gradually and safely, what the authoritative record of a service is and what it depends on, or the frameworks every iCloud service is built on.

This is a senior role with unusual breadth. We are a small team with a large surface area, so you will be handed outcomes and constraints, work out what should be built, and become the person other teams come to. You will work directly with the engineering leader for the area. All of it is software other engineering teams build against, so the work is API and library design as much as distributed systems. We are looking for engineers who can manage technical and organizational complexity and drive a project from a simple idea to production.","responsibilities":"Design, develop, and support the services, frameworks, and APIs that iCloud service teams build against
