Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something — you'll add something. The Apple Media, Graphics & Compute Technologies (MGC) group drives core audio, video, and graphics technologies across Apple products including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. The MGC Audio team builds the foundation for high-impact audio experiences across these platforms. The Audio Software Integration team is looking for a Platform Software Engineer, to own and evolve the cloud platform behind our CI/CD systems, enabling reliable and scalable delivery of audio software, while supporting platform evolution across cloud and internal infrastructure environments. This role is primarily focused on infrastructure ownership, with opportunities to contribute directly to backend services and internal tools.
In this role, you will take ownership of the cloud infrastructure platform that supports audio software development and delivery. This includes Kubernetes clusters, managed PostgreSQL databases, and workflow orchestration systems. You will be responsible for ensuring the platform is reliable, scalable, secure, and easy for partner teams to use. You will manage infrastructure through code using Terraform and Kustomize, drive improvements to CI/CD systems, and act as the primary point of contact for platform health and operations. You will also play a key role in driving infrastructure migrations and platform evolution, including transitioning workloads between cloud and internal Kubernetes environments. While the role is infrastructure-focused, you will also have opportunities to contribute to backend services and internal tooling in Go, supporting application teams with API development, workflow integration, and data modeling as needed.
  • Own and operate the cloud infrastructure platform supporting CI/CD and internal tooling
  • Manage Kubernetes environments, including cluster configuration, access control, storage, and deployment strategies
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and integrate changes into CI/CD pipelines
  • Drive infrastructure migrations across environments, including cloud-to-internal Kubernetes transitions
  • Ensure reliability, scalability, and security of platform services through monitoring, alerting, and best practices
  • Operate and optimize managed PostgreSQL databases, including performance tuning and schema evolution
  • Deploy and support workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal
  • Collaborate with application teams to support service integration, APIs, and workflow design
  • Contribute to backend services and internal tools to improve developer productivity and platform capabilities
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps-focused roles
  • Hands-on experience administering Kubernetes in production environments
  • Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform
  • Experience managing cloud environments on GCP, AWS, or Azure
  • Experience operating production-grade databases such as PostgreSQL
  • Working knowledge of at least one backend programming language (e.g., Go)
  • Experience with CI/CD systems and version control (Git)
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills
  • Proven experience with Google Cloud Platform services such as GKE, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage
  • Experience with Kustomize for multi-environment Kubernetes configuration management
  • Experience deploying and operating Temporal or similar workflow orchestration systems
  • Background with migrating workloads between cloud providers and/or on-premises Kubernetes environments
  • Familiarity with hybrid or multi-environment infrastructure strategies
  • Familiarity with GraphQL and REST API design
  • Experience with ORM frameworks and database migration workflows
  • Exposure to frontend technologies such as TypeScript and React/Next.js
  • Involvement with Helm, observability tooling, and shared storage solutions in Kubernetes
