The Senior Infrastructure SRE joins the Storage SRE team to build and run next-generation distributed storage systems for Apple Cloud. This role involves taking ownership of projects, designing solutions, and delivering features across the full infrastructure stack, from tuning block storage layers to managing content delivery network traffic. You will handle alerts on an on-call rota and collaborate across time zones to maintain high availability. Key responsibilities include provisioning, data migration, backup, and capacity planning. Required skills include expertise in Linux internals, networking protocols, and distributed systems. You must be proficient in languages like Go, Java, Python, or Rust, with knowledge of LVM, XFS, S3, Ceph, and NFS. Experience with Puppet, Ansible, Kubernetes, Cassandra, and Postgres is also preferred.

What you'll do

  • Design and build solutions for next-generation distributed storage systems.
  • Own projects from initial design and stakeholder buy-in to timely delivery.
  • Provide technical feedback to colleagues to improve designs, features, and projects.
  • Maintain high service availability by handling alerts and escalations on an on-call rota.
  • Manage system configuration, provisioning, software deployment, logging, and monitoring tools.
  • Perform data migration, backup and recovery, and capacity planning for large-scale systems.
  • Optimize the full infrastructure stack from block storage layers to CDN traffic management.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Advanced degree in a related field (preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience building, operating, and scaling distributed storage systems in private, public, or hybrid cloud environments.
  • Ability to design, author, understand, and release code in Go (preferred), Java, Python, or Rust.
  • Good understanding of block, object, and file storage solutions in Linux (such as LVM, XFS, ext4, S3, Ceph, Gluster, NFS).
  • Understanding of Linux internals, standard networking protocols, and distributed systems including provisioning, data migration, backup, and disaster recovery.
  • Hands-on experience managing diverse systems with configuration management or software delivery platforms like Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or Spinnaker (preferred).
  • Familiarity with microservices, Kubernetes, and relational or non-relational databases (preferred).
