Senior Video SRE

Imagine a world where every video stream starts instantly every live event plays flawlessly and the perfect movie finds you before you even search. As a Senior Video SRE at Apple youll turn this vision into reality. Youll tackle unprecedented scale challenges engineer systems that self-heal and ensure our video applications and infrastructure remain rock-solid when millions tune in simultaneously. If you thrive on solving complex distributed systems problems and want your work to directly impact how the world experiences entertainment this is your opportunity.

As a Senior Video Site Reliability Engineer at Apple you will be responsible for the reliability scalability and performance of our distributed applications that serve millions of users globally. You will build strong partnerships with application development teams sister SRE teams platform teams product teams as well as video encoding specialists to drive shared ownership of service reliability and maintain exceptional quality of experience for our day-to-day work will include embedding reliability practices into the development lifecycle building sophisticated monitoring and observability solutions and developing automation to reduce operational will own critical infrastructure components that video services depend on and use data-driven approaches to identify and eliminate single points of failure. You will lead reliability design reviews and define SLO frameworks that set the standard for service health. As part of the role you will participate in on-call rotations lead incident response efforts and drive post-incident reviews that result in meaningful reliability role offers the opportunity to work with complex JVM-based microservices and distributed systems technologies and influence architectural decisions that shape how Apple delivers video streaming content worldwide.
