Our engineers develop and maintain Apple's relational database platform - hosting PostgreSQL databases that power some of Apple's most important workloads across Services, Manufacturing, AIML, and beyond. You'll join a team building the automation layer that makes this possible: secure, API-driven services that manage the full lifecycle of database clusters at scale. This is product engineering - you'll ship the platform that highly-visible Apple services depend on, and your work will directly impact reliability for millions of users worldwide.

AI & Data Platforms (AiDP) is IS&T's engine for AI-powered innovation. The team brings together data, application development, and machine learning - including generative AI - along with data services and customer success functions, to help IS&T build solutions more efficiently and streamline the adoption and embedding of generative AI across Apple.

Description

The team develops highly reliable, API-driven micro services to manage the full lifecycle of PostgreSQL databases at Apple: provisioning, scaling, patching, failover, and decommissioning while ensuring deep observability, durability, and automation for our customers. Maintaining and enhancing monitoring and alerting is equally important for the role. Understanding core reliability concepts - observability, monitoring, alerting, fault tolerance, auto-remediation and a drive to push the boundaries of what's automatable will help you succeed here.","responsibilities":"Automation Development: Design and build tools to streamline database management tasks and performance tuning. Integrate AI/ML capabilities into areas like intelligent configuration recommendations, workload-aware scheduling, and LLM-powered interfaces that simplify complex operator workflows
