Engineering Manager, Cloud Network Reliability

Apple Cloud Networking team builds and operates large-scale software-defined networking platforms that enable secure resilient and highly available multi-cloud connectivity with a global footprint. Our infrastructure powers critical Apple services including iCloud iTunes Siri and Maps.n nWe are seeking an experienced and visionary Reliability Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of engineers focused on ensuring the availability performance scalability and resiliency of Apples global network this role you will work closely with software engineering infrastructure and operations teams across Apple to deliver reliable fault-tolerant systems that operate at massive scale.

As a key leader within the Cloud Networking organization you will define and drive the reliability and resiliency strategy for Apples network platform services. You will be responsible for building scaling and mentoring a high-performing Production Engineering team that champions SRE and SWE best practices release engineering and data-driven will establish strong cross-functional partnerships to ensure reliability and resiliency are embedded throughout the system lifecyclefrom design and development to deployment and operations. Your leadership will help ensure Apples network services meet demanding availability latency resilience and security requirements while continuously improving operational are looking for a leader who is deeply passionate about operating mission-critical globally distributed systems preventing outages learning from failures and driving long-term reliability improvements.

Define and execute the reliability engineering vision strategy and roadmap for Apples cloud networking day-to-day execution of reliability initiatives including sprint planning prioritization and retrospectives with a strong focus on operational and own SLIs SLOs and error budgets using metrics and observability to guide engineering trade-offs and reliability closely with software engineering infrastructure and security teams to design and operate fault-tolerant resilient automation and operational efficiency through tooling testing deployment pipelines and self-healing and develop engineers through regular one-on-ones career planning and performance feedback fostering a culture of ownership and continuous with recruiting to attract and hire top reliability engineering for reliability resilience and operational excellence across multiple product and platform teams.
