Apple services depend upon performant and reliable networking primitives. Our mission is to connect all services in secure, scalable and transparent matter. This includes implementing networking and traffic primitives for resilient service to service communication. These capabilities are packaged into ingress, egress, and mesh proxies at Apple scale.

Description

As a Traffic Engineer you will orchestrate the design and development of cutting-edge traffic proxies that power Apple services at an unprecedented scale, serving hundreds of millions of users globally. As a key player in our tech ecosystem, you will take the lead in enhancing our network stack for improved ingress, egress, and mesh functionality. This role is not just about coding; it's about making contributions architecting the backbone of Apple, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of software development. If you're passionate about tackling challenges at an extraordinary scale, innovating in the traffic management space, and influencing the direction of an industry giant, this is your opportunity to shine! Senior engineers will be expected to excel at making informed technology choices within complex architectures, whether it's deciding to build or buy specific components and selecting the right frameworks. Your deep understanding of the organization's business, products, customers, and strategy will empower us to pinpoint opportunities aligning with our team's mission. We expect senior engineers to make decisive choices even amid conflicting perspectives, demonstrating our commitment by disagreeing when necessary and then committing to the chosen path. Navigating ambiguity is our strength - you will concentrate on the broader objectives, goals, and desired impact, taking deliberate steps forward. Our dedication extends to coaching and mentoring teammates, considering their unique skills, backgrounds, and working styles. You will actively seek and provide constructive feedback to foster growth within our team. Here you will find that we: • Have a peaceful work environment where you can choose when to socialize and when to focus. • Provide technical guidance and mentorship as needed. • Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture. • Encourage you to use accrued vacation time and maintain a healthy work-life balance. • Offer excellent benefits!
