The SRE Software Engineer joins the ASE Compute team to deploy and manage a large, multi-tenant Kubernetes platform that powers core services like iCloud, Apple Music, and Maps. This role involves developing controllers, managing namespace infrastructure, and building AI-assisted tooling to automate triage and operational workflows. You will be responsible for maintaining reliability standards such as SLOs and error budgets while contributing to CI/CD pipelines and configuration management. The position requires proficiency in Python or Go, Linux systems administration, and experience with containerization tools like Docker. Candidates should possess skills in networking concepts including TCP/IP and DNS, along with familiarity with version control via Git and configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible. You will solve complex infrastructure problems to ensure high availability for services that must scale globally across production-scale environments.

What you'll do

  • Deploy, configure, and maintain large-scale, multi-tenant Kubernetes environments.
  • Develop and maintain operational tooling to improve reliability and reduce manual intervention.
  • Implement reliability standards including SLOs, error budgets, alerting, and rollout strategies.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, revision control workflows, and configuration management practices.
  • Perform on-call rotations to troubleshoot production issues and execute post-incident actions.
  • Enforce security best practices, OS hardening, and compliance standards across the fleet.
  • Develop AI-assisted tooling to accelerate triage and infrastructure automation.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience in Linux systems administration and containerization with enterprise distributions like RHEL, Oracle Linux, or CentOS.
  • Proficiency in Python or Go for scripting and tooling.
  • Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals including file systems, process management, and package management.
  • Working knowledge of networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and firewall configuration.
  • Experience with version control systems like Git and configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible.
  • Preferred experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure roles.
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), Docker, and third-party cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Familiarity with cloud-native observability tools, CI/CD pipelines, and OS security hardening.
