Sr. Data Engineer

Apple onsite • Seattlefull_time
As a Data Engineer on the Capacity Engineering team, you will help design, build, and operate the data foundation that drives capacity, cost, and power-related decisions across Apple’s infrastructure footprint. In this role, you will: Architect, implement, and maintain large-scale batch and streaming pipelines that ingest, process, and model infrastructure telemetry, cost, metering, utilization, forecasting, and power metrics from multiple clouds and bare metal environments. Design and evolve robust data models (with a strong focus on dimensional modeling) and storage patterns that support analytics, internal billing, and efficiency use-cases. Treat data as a product: define quality checks, SLAs, and observability to ensure data is accurate, timely, and trusted by stakeholders across Apple. Integrate and enrich raw signals with metadata and attribution to power use cases such as internal billing/showback, usage understanding, efficiency and optimization, clawbacks, planning, and procurement. Collaborate closely with data scientists, software engineers, platform teams, finance partners, program managers, and leadership to translate requirements into scalable, reliable data solutions and services. Implement standard methodologies for data governance, lineage, metadata management, and security, in alignment with Apple’s standards for data protection and privacy. Build end-to-end data solutions that include logging, anomaly detection, data validation, cleaning, and transformation, with strong emphasis on monitoring, debuggability, and continuous improvement. Contribute to the evolution of our data and platform stack, including tooling, frameworks, and standards for development, testing, deployment, and operations (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, etc.).
