Apple is looking to build the foundational platform that powers AI agents across Apple, creating resilient, scalable infrastructure that enables agentic systems to operate seamlessly at enterprise scale while safeguarding customer privacy and trust.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in software architecture design and development with expertise in Domain Driven Design, Service Oriented Architecture, and Distributed Systems
- 3+ years of experience in technical leadership roles focused on platform engineering or infrastructure
- Proficiency with containerized technologies (Docker) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Terraform)
- Proven ability to design, operate, and maintain distributed systems (monitoring, observability, automation, etc.)
- Proven development skills building backend API services using Python (preferred) and/or JavaScript
- Practical experience with asynchronous programming, type safety, threading models, state machines and data structures
- Familiarity with AI/ML technologies including LLMs, AI Agents (LangChain, Google ADK, etc.)
Responsibilities
- Define the technical vision and lead the architectural evolution of platform infrastructure that enables AI agents to thrive at Apple scale.
- Drive strategic platform decisions, mentor engineering teams, and influence technical direction across multiple organizations while building and optimizing the platform that supports our agentic ecosystem - from data pipelines and compute orchestration to monitoring and reliability systems.
- Operating across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, you'll architect platform solutions that deliver flexibility, resilience, and cost optimization while meeting Apple's stringent security and privacy requirements.
- Collaborating with AI/ML teams, data scientists, and infrastructure organizations, you'll translate the unique requirements of agentic workloads into scalable platform capabilities that enable rapid innovation.
- Lead cross-functional technical initiatives, establish platform engineering best practices, and drive the strategic roadmap for AI agent infrastructure at Apple.
Other
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience
- Excellent communication skills to collaborate with non-technical audience
- Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
