The Apple Service Engineering (ASE) team builds and provides systems and infrastructure that fuel Apple's services (such as i Cloud, i Tunes, Siri, and Maps). We are the foundation on which Apple's software developers build the products that our customers love. We are looking for passionate and talented Site Reliability Engineer to continue our focus in providing our customers the highest quality Apple Services experience.

If you love designing, engineering and running systems and infrastructure that will help millions of customers, then this is the place for you!

The services that this team manages are foundational security services. From host access and disk encryption to identity and authentication, these services are both critical for operational as well as securing Apples fleet and protecting out most critical data. This is a role on a new SRE team dedicated to these security services, who will work in deep partnership with the ASE Security dev team to bring up and mature new services as part of our infrastructure investments.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Security Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our dynamic and growing team. As a Security SRE, you will play a critical role in ensuring the security, reliability, and scalability of our systems and infrastructure.
