Engineering Manager Compute Node Software

Apple Service Engineering (ASE)s Compute Runtime team builds and maintains the execution platforms containers virtual machines and associated infrastructure that power Apples services at scale. We blur the lines between containers and VMs to provide secure performant execution environments that span from the desktop to the cloud. Our platform underpins Apple services like iCloud iTunes Siri and We are active contributors to open source including Apples container and Containerization projects and the broader OCI ecosystem. We work upstream to improve the foundations that our platform is built looking for a technical leader to drive the vision and execution of this platform. You will lead a team of talented engineers working on container runtimes container tooling image distribution and VM isolation building a cloud compute platform customized to Apples security privacy and performance requirements.

In this role you will lead engineers who develop debug and maintain container runtimes container tooling and virtual machine isolation platforms. You will:nn - Define and execute the vision strategy and roadmap for Apples cloud compute platforms.n- Set technical direction through architecture reviews and cross-team design collaboration.n - Lead day-to-day execution including sprint planning prioritization and retrospectives.n - Engage closely with partners and customers to drive clarity in Apples compute needs.n - Mentor and develop engineers through regular one-on-ones career planning and performance feedback fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.n - Collaborate with recruiting to attract and hire top compute and systems engineering talent.n
