The Apple Cloud Infrastructure (ACI) team builds and provides systems that power many of Apple’s customer-facing services (like iCloud, iTunes, Siri, and Maps). We provide infrastructure primitives that enable teams across Apple to build services that our customers love. Our team is building a low latency distributed storage block storage system, which will be made available to workloads running on ACI’s private-cloud infrastructure. As a general-purpose “disk” service, we must support workloads ranging from databases and ML/analytics frameworks to the orchestration of large-scale containerized and virtualized jobs.

Engineers on this team will have the rare opportunity to work on storage device-optimized low-level storage, large-scale distributed systems, and high-performance IO stacks operating at mission-critical levels of availability and durability. Each component is being built using first principles from the ground up to unlock optimization opportunities at every layer of the stack. We are looking for collaborative, curious, and pragmatic Software Engineers to be part of this innovative team. You will be able to shape the product’s features and architecture as it scales orders of magnitude. Being part of Apple’s Cloud Infrastructure organization opens the door to exerting cross-functional influence and making a more significant organizational impact.
