This role is for a full-time SRE to develop on the automation of provisioning new hardware for Apple datacenters, and for running that automation in production, with users such as high-traffic orchestration systems that drive mass configuration changes. The role involves understanding the team's roadmap; taking ownership of projects or deliverables within that roadmap; designing solutions and building buy-in for those designs; and successful delivery of those designs in order to meet the project goal. The role involves giving technical feedback to colleagues to assist them in the delivery of their designs, features and projects, as well as follow and champion technical standards across the two-site team in collaboration with other members of the team. The team has an on-call rota including the week-ends and the successful candidate should expect to handle alerts and other escalations in order to maintain a high level of availability and functionality for our provided services. The team is in two shards in UK and US and cross-timezone meetings are a core feature of how our team collaborates, reaches agreements, and executes to deliver projects. While we develop and run automated services, a deep understanding of OS/hardware interactions, BIOS configurations, and low-level networking protocols is necessary in order to investigate anomalous behavior and document constraints and expectations in an automated format.
