Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Apple is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join their Satellite Communications SRE team, focusing on building and maintaining critical infrastructure that enables satellite connectivity for iPhone users when they're off the grid. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on Emergency SOS via satellite services that help people in critical situations.

The position involves building and running large-scale, highly resilient systems that power satellite communications services used by millions of Apple customers worldwide. You'll be responsible for the entire infrastructure stack, from bare metal to platform services, with a focus on automation and software-driven solutions rather than manual operations.

As part of the Satellite Connectivity Group, you'll work with skilled domain experts in a creative and collaborative environment. The role combines technical challenges with meaningful impact, as the systems you build directly contribute to people's safety and communication capabilities in emergency situations.

The ideal candidate should have strong Linux systems administration experience, proficiency in modern programming languages like Python, Go, or Rust, and extensive knowledge of infrastructure-as-code practices. Experience with Kubernetes, monitoring platforms, and large-scale system operations is highly valued.

This is a rare opportunity to shape critical services from the ground up, working with a team that emphasizes a no-ops culture and software-driven solutions. You'll be at the forefront of innovative satellite communication technology while contributing to systems that can literally save lives.
