The people here at Apple don’t just build products — they craft the kind of wonder that’s revolutionised entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that encourages the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. We are working to take the integration, build, and test process of the low-level components of iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS to the next level (think kernel and low-level libraries). We don’t have all of the answers on how to do that yet, perhaps you do? We are exploring, measuring, and trying new things! We are responsible for integrating, building, and validating nearly a quarter of all changes that go into our OS releases that affect 1 billion+ customers. This isn’t just a theoretical exercise. We won’t be satisfied with anything less than outstanding!
Key Qualifications
- Strong coding skills (we work primarily in Python, Perl, and Bash); if you are the right person we don’t mind which technologies you are used to as long as you show flexibility
- Have experience with crafting, running, and solving problems in native builds (Objective-C, C++) and have a basic understanding of compilation
- You are comfortable writing code and ideally experience with TDD standard methodologies
- You are always iterating and seeking new ways to automate repetitive tasks and to shorten the feedback cycle of build pipelines
- You have good communication and coordination skills as you will be working closely with other engineering and QA teams
- Proficient with Git and other version control systems and familiar with highly-scalable, distributed systems and parallel workflows
Description
As Build & Release Engineer, you’ll coordinate the build and verification process of the Kernel and related components for all of Apple’s OS releases. Working as part of an agile team whose goal is to shorten the feedback cycle for our internal customers. Our aim is to provide fast turnaround to all of our partners. You will work hands-on with various tools to set the standard for automation of day-to-day operations and rapidly deliver new, innovative solutions and tools.
Education & Experience
Additional Requirements
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes; understanding of configuration management tools like Salt and Ansible would be a huge plus
- Apple's most important resource, our soul, is our people. Apple benefits help further the well-being of our employees and their families in meaningful ways. No matter where you work at Apple, you can take advantage of our health and wellness resources and time-away programmes. We're proud to provide stock grants to employees at all levels of the company, and we also give employees the option to buy Apple stock at a discount — both offer everyone at Apple the chance to share in the company's success.
