Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because each of us believes we can create something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Apple’s Network Infrastructure is a critical foundation for delivering Apple’s services (such as iCloud, iTunes, Siri, Maps, and Private Cloud Compute) to billions of customers and employees. Apple’s Data Center Networking team is responsible for all aspects of the Network Infrastructure, from Operations to Architecture, that is deployed globally across Apple’s Data Centers and Edge locations. We are responsible for delivering a network that can match Apple’s scale, reliability, and security goals. We work closely with Apple’s other Infrastructure organizations and Hardware and Software Architecture teams to influence, build, and operate Apple’s Infrastructure. Our influences can range anywhere from Data Center Network Fabrics to a Hardware System Design. We listen to different perspectives, help surface innovative ideas, and drive decisions that move us forward.
