People at Apple don't just build products, they craft the kind of experiences that have revolutionized entire industries. The diverse collection of our people and their ideas inspire innovation in everything we do. Imagine what you could do here!
Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
The Apple Services Engineering (ASE) team builds and provides systems and infrastructure that fuel Apple's services (such as iCloud, iTunes, Siri, and Maps). We are the foundation on which Apple's software developers build the products that our customers love.
Apple's observability and monitoring platforms are the nervous system behind the reliability of Apple's cloud services, giving thousands of engineers the visibility they need to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues before they impact customers. Our cloud monitoring platform analyzes billions of metrics per minute and is the first place incident responders turn when something goes wrong, regardless of system scale or complexity.
We're looking for a senior SRE leader to own and evolve this platform: the metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting infrastructure that underpins operational excellence across Apple Services Engineering.
Description
You'll set technical direction for reliability and operational excellence while mentoring engineers, driving automation, and partnering closely with software, infrastructure, finance, and product teams to uphold the reliability of the platform whilst shipping improvements that matter at Apple scale.
This is a senior leadership position that defines where our observability platform reliability, scalability and performance goes next, how our SRE practice evolves, including how AI reshapes it, and how we build the team and partnerships to get there. You will lead engineers solving reliability and scale problems few organizations encounter, integrating monitoring seamlessly across disparate infrastructures, hardware, software, application, and network layers, at a scale built to reach every user on the planet. You'll build a team culture that makes SRE sustainable, rewarding, and central to how Apple ships services.
The successful candidate has a strong aptitude for both technical leadership and people management, with the ability to context-switch between strategic planning and tactical execution. You should be comfortable building and scaling teams, driving complex cross-functional initiatives, and thriving under pressure, while creating an inclusive, high-trust team culture where engineers do their best work.
We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how SRE is practiced, from anomaly detection and root-cause analysis to capacity planning and toil elimination, and we're looking for a leader who shares that conviction and can drive that transformation across the organization.
Responsibilities:
Technical & Operational Leadership
Own the reliability, availability, and performance of Apple's observability platform (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) and the self-service capabilities built on top of it
Lead staging and production environments for the observability platform with the goal of maximizing availability
Ensure the platform accurately monitors the health of every application and piece of infrastructure across the Apple ecosystem, the "central nervous system" that other engineering teams and incident responders reach for first
Define and drive the strategic roadmap for observability infrastructure in partnership with SRE, engineering, and product stakeholders
Establish and refine SRE practices including SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, scale testing, disaster recovery, and change management
Guide deep dives into systemic and latent reliability issues spanning the full stack (hardware, software, application, and network), partnering with software and systems engineers to drive fixes to resolution
Drive incident response, post-incident reviews, and systemic improvements that reduce operational toil
Champion automation to eliminate manual processes through tooling, self-service platforms, and APIs for internal customers
Manage on-call rotations and ensure sustainable, well-supported operational coverage

Hire and build out the SRE team, with a desire to develop engineers to meet both their career goals and the organization's goals
Build and scale a high-performing team through coaching, clear expectations, and psychological safety
Foster an inclusive team culture and mentor diverse talent
Champion engineering best practices for code quality, system design, and operational excellence across the broader organization
Cross-Functional & Executive Communication
Build strong partnerships across Apple, negotiating priorities and aligning on shared goals with an Apple-first mindset
Represent the SRE perspective in cross-functional planning, translating reliability requirements into architecture and investment decisions
Communicate effectively at the executive level, presenting strategy, trade-offs, and progress to senior leadership
Drive standardization and best practices across the observability and infrastructure landscape
Preferred Qualifications
Deep familiarity with the Prometheus ecosystem and cloud-native observability stacks (Thanos, Splunk, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
Experience with third-party cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible)
Comfortable with open-source configuration management and orchestration tools (Helm, Puppet, Spinnaker)
Demonstrable knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP, web application security, and multi-tier web application architectures
Experience running infrastructure as an internal managed service with defined SLAs
Familiarity with microservices architecture and container orchestration with Kubernetes at scale
Background in capacity planning, performance engineering, or infrastructure architecture
Track record of driving cultural and process transformation within SRE organizations

Developing and delivering multi-mode communications tailored to the unique needs of different audiences
Anticipating and balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders
Making sense of complex, high-quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to solve problems effectively
Rebounding from setbacks and adversity when facing difficult situations
Knowing the most effective and efficient processes to get things done, with a focus on continuous improvement
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of engineering management experience leading SRE, infrastructure, or observability/monitoring teams
Experience hiring and leading engineers, with a desire to build, grow, and mentor a team
Deep understanding of observability systems and practices: metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, SLOs, error budgets, and fault analysis at scale
Strong systems background, comfortable troubleshooting across the full stack (network, OS, container runtime, application)
Experience operating large-scale, multi-tenant distributed systems in production, including Kubernetes environments
Practical, solid knowledge of shell/bash scripting and at least one higher-level production language (Python preferred; Go, Java, or Scala also valued)
Demonstrated experience applying AI/ML tooling or LLM-based solutions to improve SRE or infrastructure operations
Track record of building high-performing teams through coaching, clear expectations, and psychological safety
Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional initiatives to completion and communicate at the executive level
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Seattle, WA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Seattle compares. Among the 80 largest places in Washington, Seattle is #1 by population, #76 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #8 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, King County, is #1 of 39 counties for average pay ($132,279).
Seattle has 754,195 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.6% of the population of Washington. It covers 84 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,979 people per square mile. The median age is 35.6, 7% younger than the state median (35.6 against 38.3).
The median gross rent is $2,030 a month (rent plus utilities), 15% above the state median ($2,030 against $1,760). Over a year that is 19.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $938,600, which is 7.6 times the median household income ($123,860); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.7% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.7% against 63.8%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area has 2,086,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $72,610 a year, 42% above the national median ($72,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (212,900 jobs, median $59,660); business and financial operations (201,160 jobs, median $101,950); computer and mathematical (194,970 jobs, median $156,000). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (2.8 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($168,110) and computer and mathematical ($156,000). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of King County was 4.8%. 74.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in King County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 36.6% drive alone, 11.9% use public transit, 8.1% walk, 34.8% work from home. 13.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 18% below the state average (13.9% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
68.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 73% above the state share (68.5% against 39.6%). 20.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% above the state share (20.1% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 9.9%, about the same as the state rate (9.9% against 9.9%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 65°F (18.3°C), and the coolest is Dec at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,230 mm (48 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Nov is the wettest month (188 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Mercer Island (7 miles, rent 23% higher); Bainbridge Island (7 miles, rent 8% higher); Kirkland (9 miles, rent 18% higher); Bellevue (9 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Seattle; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
