About the role

Low-level summary: An early-stage Site Reliability Engineer role in Cork, Ireland, within Apple’s Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) Insight team. Build and operate a large-scale, multi-petabyte Big Data ecosystem supporting manufacturing operations, with influence over team practices, architecture, and in-region culture as part of a new EMEA Cork operation.

Responsibilities

  • Operate and improve services within a very large-scale, highly-available Big Data ecosystem supporting Exabytes level of data with sustained, rapid growth.
  • Own the reliability, performance, and scalability of services and infrastructure within the Insight ecosystem — with a build-to-manage mindset applied to design, deployment, and ongoing operations.
  • Build and advance AIOps capabilities across the ecosystem — developing ML-driven alerting, anomaly detection, LLM-assisted operational tooling, and automated incident triage that measurably improve observability and response.
  • Instrument services for deep observability: dashboards, meaningful alerts, runbooks, and clearly defined SLOs and SLIs that give the team and stakeholders an accurate view of ecosystem health.
  • Drive automation that reduces operational toil and improves ecosystem stability — key measures of success include ecosystem uptime, release quality, toil reduction, and sustained advancement of SRE practice.
  • Partner with incident management to drive effective incident response and conduct thorough post-incident reviews; translate findings into architectural and operational improvements that prevent recurrence.
  • Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices and platform architecture decisions that shape the long-term direction of the Insight ecosystem.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams across Apple's global manufacturing services, communicating effectively across time zones and cultures.
  • Help define the culture, working practices, and technical standards of the new EMEA operational team — build strong in-region relationships with business partners and represent the team's perspective within the wider Insight organization.
  • Mentor and support team members as the Cork operational team grows.

Qualifications

  • Experience in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering with strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively across geographies
  • Linux systems proficiency — comfortable troubleshooting at the systems level including processes, networking, file systems, and performance diagnostics
  • Programming and automation experience in Python, Go, or Bash, combined with practical exposure to AI/ML applied to IT operations — anomaly detection, intelligent alerting, or LLM-driven tooling
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, with an understanding of compute, storage, networking, and IAM in production environments
  • Kubernetes, CI/CD, and networking fundamentals — practical experience with container orchestration and deployments, pipeline tooling (ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar), and a grasp of HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP, and how traffic flows through distributed systems
  • Experience operating systems instrumented with Grafana, Prometheus, Kibana, or equivalent, alongside practical IaC skills using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane
  • SRE principles applied in practice: error budgets, SLOs, SLIs, toil measurement and reduction
  • Experience with relational databases in production environments — MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline; equivalent professional experience will be fully considered
