Apple Maps and location services are used by hundreds of millions of people every day to navigate the world. Behind every search, route, and point of interest is a massive distributed serving infrastructure that must be fast, reliable, and always available.

This SRE org is responsible for the availability and automation of some of the most visible and widely used services that power Apple Maps.

If you are passionate about reliability at planet scale and are excited to help us build, grow, manage and deliver infrastructure that scales with Apple Maps, this is the opportunity for you!

Description

We are looking for a senior SRE leader to set the strategic direction for our Maps serving infrastructure. This is not just a "keep the lights on" role - this is a leadership position that defines where our infrastructure goes next, how our SRE practice evolves, and how we build the teams and partnerships to get there. You will work closely with engineering, product, and operations partners across Apple to shape the roadmap for our serving platform. You will lead an organization of SREs and hold responsibility for the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of some of Apple's most visible services. We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how SRE is practiced - from incident detection and resolution to capacity planning and toil elimination - and we're looking for a leader who shares that conviction and can drive that transformation across the organization.","responsibilities":"Operate with the fundamental principle that reliability is feature number one
