About the role

Senior Cloud Engineer within the Wallet, Payments and Commerce (WPC) Cloud Engineering team responsible for owning and delivering platform capabilities end-to-end, driving cross-functional initiatives, and scaling cloud infrastructure to support Apple Pay and related wallet/payments services.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design and delivery of platform capabilities end-to-end — from gathering requirements with product and partner teams to running them in production.
  • Drive technical direction on multi-quarter initiatives, framing trade-offs and aligning engineering, security, quality, and SRE partners around shared outcomes.
  • Architect and evolve our platform-as-a-product offerings, treating internal developers as first-class customers and reducing the friction between idea and production.
  • Lead the design and rollout of Infrastructure build pipelines and CI/CD releases in a platform-as-a-product environment.
  • Solve complex problems using a mix of open-source and in-house tooling, balancing pragmatism with the long-term health of the platform.
  • Scale existing technologies and introduce new ones to outpace growth projections, and shepherd them from experiment to production-grade adoption.
  • Represent the team in cross-organization initiatives, partnering with adjacent platform, security and developer teams to keep our technical strategy cohesive.
  • Evangelize next-generation cloud and DevOps practices, building the credibility and shared understanding needed to bring them to fruition across WPC.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of Cloud infrastructure and platform engineering experience, with a track record of owning systems end-to-end in production.
  • Experience building platforms, Microservices and distributed systems; experience building APIs on Kubernetes using frameworks such as gRPC, or REST.
  • Kubernetes and Containers; experience owning multi-tenant, multi-cluster, multi-region footprints end-to-end.
  • Infrastructure as Code, with deep Crossplane and Terraform experience; designed composition and provider patterns at scale.
  • Public cloud expertise; knowledge of when to use various cloud services.
  • GitOps and CI/CD with Flux, Jenkins, Kargo; pipelines and declarative promotion with rollback capabilities.
  • Strong networking fundamentals (NATs, TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, mTLS); Linux internals and systems-level troubleshooting.
  • Experience with Observability stacks (Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Datadog).
