Today
Apple is looking for an experienced Software Engineer to develop the next generation of iCloud Platform. You will work on key components of a novel system, introducing new fundamental capabilities enabling entirely new applications.
The ideal candidate will have a strong quality focus and be motivated by taking early production systems and developing them into services that can be run reliably at scale. Our systems are distributed in nature, and you will be able to reason about complex failure modes that could occur. You will be comfortable working with our cross-functional partner teams to deliver the best outcomes.Product development can be fast-paced, and requirements can change during the rapid innovation cycles. You will have the opportunity to take ambiguity and refine it into valuable outcomes, taking risks where justified by the reward.You will understand how CI/CD, observability, and SLOs form part of a mature product offering and push for best practices. Use your insight to prevent production issues before they happen. When issues do occur you will dive deep across platform layers, working with others as necessary, to rapidly resolve them. This is not an operations role, but the job will provide second-level support when expertise is required, potentially out of hours.
