Apple Services Engineering (ASE) is an exciting environment with a dynamic cloud development, deployment and operations organization. We're seeking an experienced technical program manager to drive projects related to the infrastructure, platform, networking, and large scale complex services that interact with the diverse Apple ecosystem of products, and many hundreds of millions of users.
The projects include creating highly performant and energy efficient systems that will power the next generation of data centers.

Are you excited about operating massively large services? You can wear all these hats in ASE.

You communicate responsibilities and scope clearly, value integrity and always maintain an open mind. You handle conflict gracefully, while building your network of strong relationships. You have a curious mind to know how things work. You thrive in uncertainty and strive to bring clarity and focus while rapidly striding forward in a fast paced environment.
