Infrastructure and Tools - Production Engineer
Job Description
Summary
Our team is on a mission to provide innovative infrastructure and tools that impact engineers’ work by making software easier to create, build, test, and distribute. We believe that streamlining software engineering is an important part of unlocking developer creativity and innovation, and we enjoy when Apple customers see that in the products we ship.
We are looking for an engineer to create software, systems, tools, and processes to ensure the products we build are reliable, resilient, effective, and efficient. Production engineers work closely with our product development teams to guide their service development and identify the most valuable areas to improve.
We believe that every member of a team brings unique skills and perspective. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for technically hands-on engineers who want to ship reliable software and services that solve real-world problems and ultimately enable others to develop amazing applications. You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology and have fun while doing so.
