At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish.\n\nAt Apple, the information powering Siri, Spotlight, Apple Maps, and Apple's foundation models doesn't appear by magic, it is harvested continuously from the live web by one of the most demanding distributed crawl platforms in the industry. As Engineering Manager for the Crawl Infrastructure team, you will lead the people and systems responsible for operating a web crawl at petabyte scale and billions of operations per day, feeding the intelligence layer behind Apple's most-used products and the foundation models at the core of Apple Intelligence.\n\nThis role is for a manager who is technically deep, operationally rigorous, and energized by the challenge of scaling complex distributed systems while growing the engineers around them.

You will be responsible for building technical roadmap balancing reliability improvements, feature velocity, and platform scalability.\n\nYou should be equally comfortable in a production incident war room, stakeholder communication meeting, and a system design review.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nPrior experience with web crawl systems is a plus (URL frontier management, politeness, rate limiting, crawl scheduling ).\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n\n8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years of engineering management experience leading distributed systems engineers in a production environment. Track record of managing senior engineers, setting technical direction, running design reviews, and raising the bar on engineering quality.\n\nAbility to drive large, multi-quarter projects end-to-end, scoping, sequencing, staffing, and delivering against a roadmap.\n\nExperience designing and operating large scale distributed systems, you have personally designed, built, and operated large-scale distributed systems.\n\nExperience with cloud infrastructure at scale, AWS or equivalent, Kubernetes, IaC tooling.\n\nFamiliarity with data pipeline infrastructure, streaming (Flink), batch (Spark), and columnar storage (Iceberg or equivalent).\n\nStrong programming background in one of the programming languages, preferred in Rust, Scala, or Go.\n\nBS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.\n\nPay & Benefits\n\nAt Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range.
