Description

The Apple Service Engineering - SRE team is looking for Site Reliability Engineers with experience in developing processes, tools, and automation for managing distributed systems in production environments. Our SRE team combines software and systems engineering and system administration practices to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. Our software ensures that Apple’s services are reliable, scalable and secure, and we leverage both open source and home-grown technologies to provide managed data infrastructure services. You will help building next generation search infrastructure and platform services, collaborating cross-functionally with various ASE teams, from store and commerce to search and recommendations. You’ll create platforms that can rapidly scale to serve personalized and non-personalized data with very low latencies. You should be someone who is not afraid to question assumptions, are a good standout colleague under tight deadlines, and can take on problems with elegant technical solutions. DESCRIPTION The ASE SRE team develops applications and tooling that are safe, reliable, scalable, and fast. This work requires an innovative spirit and an extraordinary degree of care and difficulty in engineering. Team members contribute to all major components of Redis deployment infrastructure, including maintenance automation, backup service application, monitoring and alerting tooling/dashboards, deployment architecture, focused on stability, performance, and scaling.
