Software Engineer, Deployment Platform

Do you love building the platforms that other engineers depend on to ship software safely and confidently Are you passionate about solving hard problems in continuous delivery Do you want to help shape the next generation of how Apple delivers its services As part of our Deployment Platform team youll help build and evolve a high-scale deployment platform that empowers engineering teams across Apple to define their deployment strategies and roll out services to production with speed safety and confidence.

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Deployment Platform team. Our mission is to create paved paths for developers deploying services safely across the world. Youll build innovative solutions that let developers declaratively describe how their services roll out and deliver them across multi- and hybrid-cloud environments with minimal manual intervention. Modern software delivery at Apple demands more than pushing code to production. Teams need progressive delivery strategies automated safety checks and fast feedback when something goes wrong. Youll help build the platform that makes this possible from the declarative DSL developers use to describe their pipelines to the GitOps operator that continuously reconciles desired state to the canary analysis and phased rollout capabilities that catch regressions before they reach users. Youll collaborate cross-functionally with teams across Apple taking projects from design through implementation and delivery with a bias toward simple high-quality developer-friendly solutions.

Deployment Platform Engineering Design build and own features of our deployment platform including the deployment DSL GitOps operator and pipeline orchestration that power deployments in various Delivery Build and improve progressive delivery capabilities such as phased rollouts automated canary analysis and metric gates that integrate with metric providers to keep deployments u0026 Reliability Integrate with the broader deployment ecosystem (e.g. Spinnaker) and build reliable observable services on top of distributed systems technologies such as Cassandra Kafka Redis Experience u0026 Intelligence Deliver clean REST/gRPC/GraphQL APIs tooling and capabilities including AI-powered continuous delivery intelligence that help developers understand troubleshoot and continuously improve their deployments.
