SRE Infrastructure & DevOps Administrator (Perforce / GitLab) - m/f/d

Job Description:

Apple is looking for a senior, customer-focused Site Reliability Engineer to enhance and maintain the internal tools that enable Apple's Silicon Engineering Group to design industry-leading silicon. You will be the EMEIA Direct Responsible Individual (DRI) for two platforms central to silicon design: Perforce and GitLab. As the single point of accountability in EMEIA, you'll partner with US-based service owners and act as trusted technical advisor to design customers across Europe and the Middle East. The work is hands-on and senior: break/fix, upgrades, greenfield installs, change management, capacity planning, CI/CD workflow design, and sitting with engineering customers to design the right solution for their workflow. Beyond these focus areas, you'll also contribute to day-to-day operations of the broader Linux compute and storage environment supported by the wider CSG team, and provide auxiliary support for adjacent DevOps tooling such as artifact management and container orchestration. You should thrive in a fast-paced, DevOps-minded environment, be energised by holding a service solo in-region, and be motivated to cross-train local SREs for first-line coverage while remaining the deep technical authority. Strong partnerships with silicon design, software, IT, security, and networking teams are key.
You'll be the EMEIA face of Perforce and GitLab for Apple's Silicon Engineering Group, owning regional service health, performance, and customer experience end-to-end, as a fully integrated member of the global, US-headquartered service teams. You'll ensure hardware and software engineers have modern tooling and evangelise performant workflows. A typical week blends deep engineering with customer engagement: leading a Perforce edge server upgrade, sizing a GitLab runner pool for a CI burst, troubleshooting replication issues, architecting a new project workflow with a design lead, and pitching in on broader compute/storage incidents when needed.
BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Strong SRE, DevOps, and system administration foundation. Deep senior-level operational experience across multiple Version Control Systems. Perforce and GitLab a strong plus Fluency in English
Kubernetes administration: production cluster lifecycle and upgrades, control plane, CNI, CSI, ingress, RBAC, multi-tenant workloads, observability, autoscaling, Helm/Operators. On-prem/bare-metal experience a plus. Highly valued but not a primary requirement
