Senior Engineering Manager Platform Automation, ADP Managed Services

Apple Data Platform (ADP) brings together Apple Cloud Data Platform Apple Cloud AI Services and Apple Cloud Governance Platform to deliver data AI analytics and governance capabilities at Apple ADP Managed Services provides the foundational infrastructure services and tooling required to deliver these capabilities as secure reliable scalable and efficient managed are looking for a highly technical Senior Engineering Manager to lead Platform Automation within ADP Managed Services. The team provides the common infrastructure and orchestration layer used by more than 40 ADP products and mission is to build the platform automation foundation that enables ADP services to be deployed once and operated consistently across clouds regions and environments. This leader will set the long-term direction for the platform and lead a team of senior and staff engineers driving its evolution across AWS Google Cloud Alibaba Cloud and future cloud environments.

As the Senior Engineering Manager for Platform Automation you will own the strategy and execution for ADPs multi-cloud infrastructure automation service teams define how their services need to be deployed. Platform Automation turns those requirements into standardized repeatable deployments across cloud providers accounts regions clusters and platform abstracts infrastructure complexity by automating Apples paved-path capabilities for cloud provisioning Kubernetes networking identity observability security configuration capacity and lifecycle management through certified infrastructure APIs and will evolve the platform from its current generations of automation toward a more unified declarative and future-ready architecture that simplifies service onboarding improves portability and reliability and ensures infrastructure never becomes a barrier to delivering ADP capabilities to will also shape how AI can transform the platform engineering experienceboth by incorporating AI-powered capabilities that simplify how service teams onboard deploy and operate their services and by using AI to accelerate the development validation troubleshooting and operation of the platform security will be a first-class part of your charter. You will set the direction for infrastructure security within ADP Managed Services and partner with Apples central security teams to ensure approved controls and capabilities are adopted rapidly and automated into the platform by will also drive cost-conscious infrastructure decisions by design partnering closely with ADPs Platform Efficiency is a customer-facing platform leadership role. You will lead multiple technical workstreams and a team of senior and staff engineers influence broadly across ADP and Apple infrastructure organizations and establish the multi-year direction for the platform.
