Job description

This role is part of the Database Systems Engineering team within Apple's Fleet Operation Engineering Group, focusing on large-scale storage operations. The position involves managing the configuration, provisioning, and health of SAN environments. The team is dedicated to building reliable and automated infrastructure that supports Apple's services. Candidates will work closely with developers, DBAs, network engineers, and EPMs to tackle complex storage and systems challenges.

Requirements

  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, or Java.
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals as they relate to storage and systems infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with Oracle software stack and/or NoSQL databases.
  • Experience with version control systems such as Git.
  • Experience with configuration management tools such as Puppet.
  • Hands-on knowledge of UNIX and Linux systems administration.
  • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Information Management, or a related field.

Responsibilities

  • Own the configuration, provisioning, and health of SAN environments.
  • Design automation tools that reduce toil in storage operations.
  • Maintain Linux infrastructure at massive scale.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build environments that support Apple's products.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
