Job Description
Summary
Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Can you intrinsically see the importance of every detail? At Apple, our compute team is responsible for designing and building the foundational pieces of our data center software. In this role, you will collaborate with engineers across Apple to build and deploy forward-looking high-performance batch cloud systems that support Apple’s research and development.
To better support Apple’s operations in Europe and Israel, the team is looking to expand engineering and support in the EMEIA region. The cloud engineering manager will be the leader of a cross-functional engineering team in EMEIA that will work together will the US team to develop features across the stack. The EMEIA team (like the one in Cupertino) will also engage with platform customers and will support platform issues in the local timezone. Finally, this role is highly technical and is expected to contribute to one of the four areas of the team: control plane and scheduling; runtime and virtualization; object and block storage; or infrastructure.

Description
The compute organization runs a multi-region, large-scale, in-house-developed, batch platform that empowers Apple’s R&D around the world. To keep supporting its scale and growing user base, the compute organization is starting a new engineering team in EMEIA that will work on the platform while being closer (in space and time) to some of its customers. In this role, you will:
- Manage and organize the Ireland team and align objectives and deliverables with the team in Cupertino.
- Design, implement, and debug core execution environment components of internal platforms. Depending on your area of expertise, these might be part of control plane (scheduling, resource management, APIs, high-availability), node runtime (secure VMs and containers), storage infrastructure, networking systems, or infrastructure.
- Write and review code, generate and review design documentation
- Participate in qualifications and rollouts of software to production clusters
- Participate in a business-hours rotation where engineers respond to platform issues for same-day resolution
- Work with a wide range of software and hardware engineering teams across Apple to support their workflows or integrate their technology into our platform
