Description

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to phenomenal work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something! Apple Services Engineering (ASE) is vast, and the infrastructure teams in ASE are passionate about delivering the key building blocks for Apple Cloud. The storage SRE teams of ASE are involved in building and operating the next generation distributed storage systems to support Apple’s most critical services. Operating at our scale, across multiple geographically dispersed data centers, and servicing users with exceptionally large data presents unique challenges. As a storage SRE at Apple, you'll need to solve these problems using your deep understanding of storage, data analysis, programming, teamwork, and expertise in Linux system internals. Storage SREs at Apple involve themselves across the full infrastructure stack; from tuning the block storage layer to content delivery network traffic management. Working in this role, you'll learn how storage services work in Apple, and have unique opportunities to improve them. We think critically and strive to balance the best solution with the need to get things done for each engineering challenge we face. Good ideas are heard and results are rewarded! DESCRIPTION We are looking for a technical lead seasoned in software and systems to join the Storage SRE team at Apple.

Good understanding of block, object, and file storage solutions in the industry (such as XFS, ext4, S3, EBS, Ceph, Gluster, NFS). Understanding of Linux internals, standard networking protocols, and distributed systems. Experience with provisioning, data migration, backup & recovery, at-scale testing, disaster recovery, and capacity planning. Acute drive to automate manual operations and to improve them with well defined and tested APIs BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Awareness of best practices for deployment of storage systems - implication of physical and virtual deployment models to change management, failure domains, hardware lifecycle management, etc. Experience with deploying, supporting and monitoring new and existing services, platforms, and application stacks. Experienced in SRE principles, such as monitoring, alerting, error budgets, fault analysis, and other common concepts in reliability engineering. Skilled at identifying opportunities to reduce manual work through improvements in code and processes Familiarity with relational & non-relational databases (such as Cassandra, Postgres, & RocksDB).
