Apple Service Engineering (ASE)'s Compute Runtime team builds and maintains the execution platforms - containers, virtual machines, and associated infrastructure - that power Apple's services at scale. We blur the lines between containers and VMs to provide secure, performant execution environments that span from the desktop to the cloud. Our platform underpins Apple services like iCloud, iTunes, Siri, and Maps.\\n\\n We are active contributors to open source, including Apple's container and Containerization projects and the broader OCI ecosystem. We work upstream to improve the foundations that our platform is built on.\\n\\nWe're looking for a technical leader to drive the vision and execution of this platform. You will lead a team of talented engineers working on container runtimes, container tooling, image distribution, and VM isolation - building a cloud compute platform customized to Apple's security, privacy, and performance requirements.
In this role you will lead engineers who develop, debug, and maintain container runtimes, container tooling, and virtual machine isolation platforms. You will:\n\n - Define and execute the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Apple's cloud compute platforms.\n- Set technical direction through architecture reviews and cross-team design collaboration.\n - Lead day-to-day execution including sprint planning, prioritization, and retrospectives.\n - Engage closely with partners and customers to drive clarity in Apple's compute needs.\n - Mentor and develop engineers through regular one-on-ones, career planning, and performance feedback, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.\n - Collaborate with recruiting to attract and hire top compute and systems engineering talent.\n
10+ years of experience in systems, OS, or cloud infrastructure engineering.\nHands-on experience with several of the following: Linux containerization, container runtimes (e.g., runc, containerd), Linux filesystems, image distribution, kernel internals, container security.\nStrong operating systems knowledge and experience applying it to build stable, performant, and secure execution environments.\n5+ years in a technical leadership role with people management responsibilities.\nAbility to lead cross-functional collaboration and influence technical decisions across teams.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
Experience contributing to or maintaining open source projects, particularly in the container/OCI ecosystem.\nKnowledge of advanced virtualization concepts including nested virtualization, experience with multiple VMMs, and NUMA optimizations.\nExperience working across storage, networking, and virtualization in cloud environments.\nFamiliarity with cross-platform runtime development.\nProven ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in fast-paced environments.\n\n
