Apple's Services Engineering organization (ASE) is seeking an experienced data systems engineering manager to join our Databases SRE organization. The organization is expanding its footprint into Shanghai and is seeking an experienced engineering manager to build out and lead this site.

The Databases SRE organization is responsible for the full portfolio of database and data service technologies that Apple's internet services are built on, Apache Cassandra, Apache Kafka, Apache Solr, Redis/Valkey, etcd and other coordination services, and the platforms that run them. This is a cross-service role from day one: you will build and lead a team accountable for the reliability, scalability, and performance of all of these technologies as operated from the Shanghai site, and act as the site lead for the Databases SRE organization there.

Description
ASE Databases SRE teams develop applications and tooling that are safe, reliable, scalable, and fast. This work requires an innovative spirit and an extraordinary degree of care and rigor in engineering. Team members contribute to all major components of our data service deployment infrastructure, including maintenance automation, backup services, monitoring and alerting tooling and dashboards, deployment architecture, and upstream contributions to the open source projects we run, focused on stability, performance, and scaling.

The team's work is deployed at massive scale, serving millions of queries per second over hundreds of petabytes of data across our data centers worldwide. It also has big impact, forming the platform upon which iCloud and many other internet services at Apple are built. In ASE, your work will benefit hundreds of millions of users and is critical to the success of some of the most visible current and future Apple features.

This is a hands-on leadership role. We are seeking a manager with real domain experience who is comfortable working in the details, setting technical direction across several data service technologies rather than a single one, while building a new site from the ground up.","responsibilities":"Hire, lead, develop, and grow a team of Site Reliability Engineers supporting Apple's data service platforms: Cassandra, Kafka, Solr, Redis/Valkey, and coordination services such as etcd and zookeeper

Experience building out a new engineering site or establishing a team in a new location
Prior experience with development or maintenance of distributed databases, streaming systems, or storage systems

Minimum Qualifications
Engineering management experience leading infrastructure, SRE, or data platform teams
Experience developing or leading work in distributed systems, database systems, storage engines, validation engineering, or performance engineering
Breadth across more than one data service technology, and the appetite to go deep on several (no single technology defines this role)
Experience developing critical internet services and/or platform infrastructure
Understanding of core SRE concepts: monitoring, alerting, and incident management
Advanced understanding of data structures and algorithms in storage and indexing
Familiarity with modern Java, and optionally Python or Go
Expertise in project management, project planning, and making the unpredictable predictable
Ability to rapidly build credibility with engineers, customers, and partners, and to quickly learn new technical domains
Comfort working with geographically distributed partners across regions and time zones
