Apple's Services Engineering organization (ASE) is seeking a deeply technical Distributed Systems Database Engineer to help architect the next generation of our massive-scale data platform. ASE Data Services operates Apache Cassandra and related coordination systems across Apple's datacenters worldwide, forming a foundational storage layer for iCloud and hundreds of millions of global users.
As our fleet grows, we are evolving our platform to support true multi-tenancy, dense resource utilization, and highly predictable performance. We are looking for an engineer to design and build an intelligent, auto-balancing cluster control plane that dynamically optimizes our hardware footprint. You will move comfortably between the abstract math of capacity modelling and the concrete realities of running distributed database at scale.
