Senior Software Engineer (Observability Solutions) - Enterprise Technology Services

Apple IS&T's infrastructure powers billions of transactions every day. At this scale, the systems we build must be resilient, observable, and extraordinarily efficient. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in Go and distributed systems to join our team and help architect the next generation of Observability Platform.\\nThis is a senior individual contributor role where your technical judgment will directly shape system architecture, team direction, and engineering culture. You'll collaborate across teams, mentor engineers, and take end-to-end ownership of a mission-critical service.\\n

Our team is building an observability platform that supports some of Apple IS&T's most critical and high-traffic services. We are designing a platform that must remain consistent and performant even as it grows to handle petabytes of data resulting from billions of daily transactions.\nAs a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a technical anchor for the team. You won't just write code - you'll define how we build, shape our architectural direction, and raise the engineering bar across every layer of the stack. You'll partner directly with peer architects to translate ambiguous, high-stakes problems into concrete, elegant solutions.\n
