Do you want to help build some of the largest and most consequential enterprise and customer technology systems in the world? Join Apple's Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) organization. IS&T is the engine behind everything Apple does for customers and for the people who build for them. It's Apple's central nervous system. Supporting 2.5 billion active Apple devices, processing billions of secure transactions, and keeping the technology that defines modern life running flawlessly, IS&T makes the impossible feel effortless. Do you love building solutions to handle global complexity and immense scale? Imagine what you could do here.
Retail and Marcom Engineering, an IS&T team, builds and operates the systems and experiences that connect Apple's products with its customers. The team owns the technology behind both Apple's online and physical stores and drives the interactive marketing experiences and tools that keep creative operations moving. Together, those functions deliver the technology behind every product story Apple tells and every purchase a customer makes.
Description
In this role, you will operate as a technical owner within a highly collaborative environment that balances rapid execution with technical excellence. You will independently drive initiatives from concept to production, gain deep exposure to cutting-edge cloud architectures and modern tooling, and directly shape the technical direction of the team.
Responsibilities:
Independently architecting, building, and owning robust CI/CD pipelines and automation systems, from design through long-term maintenance.
Designing and leading development of secure Go automation, full-stack internal tooling (integrating Vue, React, or Svelte UIs with Go services), Kubernetes resources, and container images, with security embedded at every layer.
Owning the reliability, scalability, and performance of high-availability, globally distributed cloud infrastructure powering Apple digital properties.
Designing, implementing, and continuously improving observability and alerting strategy across services, including defining SLOs/SLIs.
Setting technical standards and best practices, and mentoring engineers on infrastructure design, security, and operational excellence.
Partnering closely with development, operational, and security teams, listening to feedback, resolving complex technical trade-offs, and driving to resolution with flawless, independent execution.
Championing security best practices across all environments, leading hardening initiatives, and maintaining clear, comprehensive technical documentation.
Proactively identifying systemic risks or inefficiencies and driving cross-team initiatives to resolve them without being asked.
Preferred Qualifications
8 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or software engineering, with a proven track record of independently owning complex systems or initiatives from start to finish.
Expert in writing idiomatic, production-grade Go or Python to build and extend Kubernetes ecosystems, independently designing these systems.
Extensive experience architecting and operating multi-region, high-availability infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with ownership of cloud cost, resilience, and scaling strategy.
Proven ability to operate with minimal direction: scoping ambiguous problems, proposing architecture, executing, and being accountable for outcomes.
Proven experience architecting and delivering full-stack internal tools, owning the system from design through production.
Proven experience in Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm, including designing reusable modules and adopting organizational-level IaC standards.
Proven ownership of build/release systems and CI/CD pipelines at scale, including designing pipeline architecture, improving reliability, and reducing release friction.
Hands-on experience designing and building AI-powered automation for DevOps, including LLM-powered runbooks, autonomous remediation agents, anomaly detection pipelines, and AI-assisted code/infra review tools, with a proven track record of team adoption.
Minimum Qualifications
5 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or software engineering.
Solid coding skills in Go, or Python to build and extend Kubernetes ecosystems (custom controllers, operators, admission webhooks, or cloud-native tooling).
Experience building full-stack internal tools, integrating modern frontends (Vue, React, or Svelte) with Go or Python backends and APIs.
Experience operating infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm.
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
Exposure to AI-assisted or AI-infused automation in DevOps workflows (e.g., using LLM-based tools, copilots, or intelligent agents for scripting, incident triage, or pipeline optimization).
Hands-on experience with Splunk, Prometheus, and Grafana.
BS or MS in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent education/experience.

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.
Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Austin, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Austin compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Austin is #4 by population, #5 for remote work (#1 = most), #111 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #13 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Travis County, is #5 of 254 counties for average pay ($96,267).
Austin has 979,539 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 3.2% of the population of Texas. It covers 326 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,001 people per square mile. The median age is 34.7, about the same as the state median (34.7 against 35.6).
The median gross rent is $1,729 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,729 against $1,403). Over a year that is 22.2% 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 $555,300, which is 5.9 times the median household income ($93,658); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.5% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.5% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX metropolitan area has 1,293,690 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $56,950 a year, 12% above the national median ($56,950 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (159,340 jobs, median $47,770); management (133,950 jobs, median $129,060); food preparation and serving related (120,570 jobs, median $33,280). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and architecture and engineering (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($129,060) and computer and mathematical ($114,350). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Travis County was 3.6%. 75.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Travis County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 56.0% drive alone, 2.0% use public transit, 2.5% walk, 30.7% work from home. 10.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 40% below the state average (10.2% 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.
59.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 76% above the state share (59.6% against 33.8%). 18.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 7% above the state share (18.7% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 12.0%, 13% below the state rate (12.0% against 13.8%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 49°F (9.3°C). About 841 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (111 mm) and Feb the driest (45 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: Pflugerville (14 miles, rent 12% higher); Cedar Park (15 miles, rent 7% higher); Round Rock (17 miles, similar rent); Leander (20 miles, rent 12% higher). Rent differences are against Austin; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
