Build Orchestration Systems Engineer
Apply NowCompany: Apple
Location: Cupertino, CA 95014
Description:
Summary
The SWE Developer Productivity organization builds technologies and tools to help software engineers at Apple to do the best work of their lives. The Build Orchestration team supports that mission by combining modern distributed systems and build system technology to significantly improve software development velocity. We develop and operate a large scale functional build system service used by all of the Software Engineering organization at Apple.
We are looking for experienced engineers to join our efforts. You'll work on extending our current large-scale build and distributed systems to enable complex workflows and metadata management to meet the needs of Apple's operating system engineers. If you enjoy working on system software, cloud services, or developer tools, then we have many exciting problems to work on!
You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology and have fun while doing so. We are applying unique and innovative ideas to old problems and welcome new contributors who are excited by the opportunity to significantly impact the shape and direction of our product.
We believe that every engineer brings unique skills and perspective. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for engineers who want to build great software, learn and develop their skills, and ultimately enable others to develop amazing applications.
Description
ou'll work on solving bringing Apple's many disparate unmanaged build orchestration instances into a centralized service by leveraging a strong distributed backend. You'll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established distributed system techniques to meet challenging customer demands and helping them manage the transition to a service based architecture. You'll analyze problem requirements, existing solutions, and available systems and make high-level architectural decisions about how to architect the backend, considering both short- and long-term goals. Once solutions are identified, you will work alongside our team to implement them while developing appropriate testing and operational mechanisms.
You will be most successful here as a flexible and proactive engineer who thrives in a supportive, respectful, and balanced work environment with interesting and challenging problems to tackle. You have excellent judgement and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions. You know how to drive constructive discussion of design points, learn from your team, and use your experience to advocate and teach others.
In your role as an engineer on our team:
* Spend a majority of your time programming in Swift.
* Collaborate with your teammates through git pull requests, in-person conversations, and Slack.
* Engage with other teams to help identify issues and establish long term relationships that include knowledge sharing.
* Develop expertise and be given ownership over components critical to Apple's success.
* Provide technical guidance, software architectural review, and mentorship.
* Make customer-focused product design decisions with your teammates and drive what really matters.
* Prioritize and schedule issues, estimate scope of work, and investigate new issue reports in your areas of responsibility.
* Have access to the engineers who create Apple's full technology, tools, and operating systems stack.
Here you'll find that we:
* Have a wide range of experience, from new engineers to Apple veterans.
* Provide a relaxed work environment where you can choose when to socialize and when to dig into your projects.
* Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture.
* Encourage you to use accrued vacation time and maintain a healthy work-life balance!
* Offer excellent benefits.
