Description For Software Engineering Manager, DNS Systems

Apple is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead their Edge Services team, specifically focusing on critical DNS systems that support billions of customer devices and internal teams worldwide. This role combines technical leadership with hands-on engineering, requiring deep expertise in infrastructure and distributed systems.

The position involves managing a team responsible for Apple's global DNS infrastructure, which operates across six continents in various network environments. You'll be working at the intersection of large-scale systems engineering and team leadership, contributing directly to infrastructure code while also guiding your team's technical direction and professional growth.

As the Engineering Manager, you'll collaborate with teams across Apple to evolve the DNS infrastructure, maintain relationships with open source communities, and ensure the reliability of systems that are fundamental to Apple's operations. The role requires both strategic thinking for long-term architectural decisions and tactical expertise for addressing immediate technical challenges.

The ideal candidate will bring a combination of technical depth, particularly in DNS systems, and proven leadership experience. You'll be expected to dive deep into technical details, from reviewing RFCs to investigating performance issues, while also building and maintaining a positive, blameless team culture.

This position offers the opportunity to work on systems at a truly massive scale, with direct impact on every Apple device and service worldwide. You'll be part of Apple's Information Systems and Technology group, contributing to the company's core infrastructure while working with some of the industry's most talented engineers.

The role comes with competitive compensation, including base pay, stock options, and comprehensive benefits. You'll be working from Apple's Sunnyvale location, contributing to critical systems that help maintain Apple's position as a global technology leader. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to combine technical leadership with hands-on engineering work at one of the world's most influential technology companies.
