Description

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. We are looking for a DevOps Specialist to join our global engineering team and help shape the infrastructure that powers our development workflows. In this role you will setup and maintain development environments that enable engineering teams to build, test, and ship with confidence. You will provide expert-level support across our end-to-end application landscape, conducting deep technical investigations to resolve complex issues and drive root-cause analysis. You will automate manual tasks related to release deployments and system maintenance — turning repetitive operations into reliable, repeatable processes. You will investigate and introduce new technologies to enhance the performance, scalability, security, and stability of our environments. Working in close collaboration with developers, you will design and deploy new features, support the configuration and deployment of new tool releases, and ensure smooth rollouts across the stack. You will operate within a follow-the-sun model alongside a distributed global team, with asynchronous handoffs and shared accountability. Occasional work on weekends to support downtime activities and on-call duties will be required.
