About the role

Senior Technical Lead for Apple IS&T Sales and Operations Engineering. Lead the design, evolution, and delivery of a next-generation operations and supply chain platform with high availability, scalability, and real-time capabilities, integrating AI/ML, optimization solvers, and real-time collaboration across global operations.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end architecture and implementation of our next-generation supply chain planning platform, ensuring high availability, horizontal scalability, and sub-second responsiveness.
  • Architect distributed backend microservices using Java and Python to handle complex temporal data modeling, multi-dimensional milestone dependencies, and state versioning workflows.
  • Design and implement real-time collaborative planning workspaces using React, TypeScript, and custom timeline visualizations (such as D3.js) to support concurrent multi-user planning.
  • Partner closely with Operations Research Data Scientists to integrate mathematical optimization solvers (such as OR-Tools) and AI inference engines into production workflows for automated schedule generation and feasibility validation.
  • Build event-driven data streaming pipelines and integration contracts using Apache Kafka and Snowflake to synchronize upstream operational inputs with downstream enterprise execution systems in real time.
  • Model flexible, performant relational schemas and append-only event stores for comprehensive auditability, state diffing, and scenario sandboxing.
  • Establish technical benchmarks, CI/CD automation, testing frameworks, and observability telemetry across the entire platform ecosystem.
  • Mentor software engineers through architectural reviews, code reviews, and design sessions while aligning technical roadmaps with global business objectives.

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional work experience.
  • 5+ years proven experience developing software in a professional capacity. Longer experience preferred.
  • 2+ years proven experience with Java, including proficiency in concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization techniques.
  • Proficiency in OOP principles, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns (e.g. GoF), with a proven focus on implementing testable, maintainable, and extensible backend code
  • Experience building production applications with the Spring ecosystem (e.g. Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Spring Data, Spring Cloud, etc.), including proficiency in dependency injection, auto-configuration, reactive programming with WebFlux, and designing microservices using Spring-based patterns.
  • Experience designing, implementing, and shipping high-scale, high-performance, highly available, fault-tolerant, and secure cloud-based distributed systems.
  • Experience with AI/ML technologies, including building and deploying production ML models using modern frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, etc.) and applying supervised/unsupervised learning techniques to real-world problems.
  • Track record of leading software projects within a team as a tech lead (TL), while mentoring software engineers.
  • Hands-on experience leveraging GenAI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Codex) to accelerate the software development lifecycle, enhance code quality, and streamline debugging and testing processes.
  • Experience with Natural Language Processing and Generative AI systems, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, embedding pipelines, vector databases (e.g. Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, etc.), fine-tuning, and prompt engineering for production applications.
  • Experience using relational (e.g. Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, etc.) and NoSQL (e.g. Cassandra, MongoDB, etc.) databases, including proficiency in schema design, query optimization, performance tuning.
