Senior Software Engineer - Traffic (ASE)

Seattle, Washington, United States

Software and Services

Apple services depend upon performant and reliable networking primitives. Our mission is to connect all services in a secure, scalable, and transparent manner. This includes implementing networking and traffic primitives for resilient service-to-service communication. These capabilities are packaged into ingress, egress, and mesh proxies at Apple scale.

Description

As a Traffic Engineer, you will orchestrate the design and development of cutting-edge traffic proxies that power Apple services at an unprecedented scale, serving hundreds of millions of users globally. As a key player in our tech ecosystem, you will take the lead in enhancing our network stack for improved ingress, egress, and mesh functionality. This role is not just about coding; it's about making contributions to architecting the backbone of Apple, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of software development. If you're passionate about tackling challenges at an extraordinary scale, innovating in the traffic management space, and influencing the direction of an industry giant, this is your opportunity to shine Senior engineers will be expected to excel at making informed technology choices within complex architectures, whether it's deciding to build or buy specific components and selecting the right frameworks. Your deep understanding of the organization's business, products, customers, and strategy will empower us to pinpoint opportunities aligning with our team's mission. We expect senior engineers to make decisive choices even amid conflicting perspectives, demonstrating our commitment by disagreeing when necessary and then committing to the chosen path. Navigating ambiguity is our strength - you will concentrate on the broader objectives, goals, and desired impact, taking deliberate steps forward. Our dedication extends to coaching and mentoring teammates, considering their unique skills, backgrounds, and working styles. You will actively seek and provide constructive feedback to foster growth within our team.

Here you will find that we:

  • Have a peaceful work environment where you can choose when to socialize and when to focus.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship as needed.
  • Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture.
  • Encourage you to use accrued vacation time and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
  • Offer excellent benefits

Minimum Qualifications

  • Extensive professional expertise in Traffic/Edge Engineering or Cloud Networking.
  • Proven expertise with the Linux network stack.
  • Highly skilled with one or more advanced programming languages such as C, C++, Java, or Go.
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Chef, Puppet).
  • Experience with automating operations (e.g., software deployments, config changes) at scale.
  • Understanding of performance analysis and optimizations.

Key Qualifications

  • Passionate about enabling internal partner teams.
  • Full product lifecycle ownership mindset (design → implementation → production).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Passionate about contributing to open source projects such as Envoy and working across a large organization to meet Apple’s dynamic traffic needs.
  • Experience with core production engineering best practices (e.g., designing for operability and scalability, adopting SLOs, eliminating toil).

Education & Experience

B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Pay & Benefits

At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $166,600 and $296,300, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You’ll also receive benefits including comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses — including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation.
