The ideal candidate brings production-grade software engineering discipline to data systems - Architecting data models for our scalable SDLC event platform that serves as the backbone for data pipelines, and engineering scalable data infrastructure and analytics capabilities across one of the world's largest software organizations. Modern software development at Apple spans multiple specialized platforms - source control, build system, deployment orchestration, artifact management, and observability tooling. Each generates rich telemetry, but analyzing these signals in isolation yields limited insight. You'll solve this by engineering a unified analytics platform that correlates events across the entire development pipeline, turning fragmented data into a coherent picture of engineering effectiveness. ","responsibilities":"Data Model & Schema Engineering: Engineer unified schemas representing SDLC entities and events across all platforms. Define and standardize event contracts using Apple's CDEvents specification, model relationships between applications, services, deployments, and incidents, and architect a data model that cleanly supports both real-time streaming and batch analytics workloads. SDLC Platform Integrations: Design for fault tolerance, and schema evolution. Design, build, and own data pipelines that reliably ingest events from source control, build systems, deployment services, test platforms, artifact registries, and monitoring systems. Leverage the CDEvents Platform architecture for event ingestion, implement robust validation and enrichment pipelines, and handle both real-time streaming (Kafka) and API-based data access patterns with production-quality reliability and observability. Analytics Infrastructure & Database Architecture: Architect and implement scalable database solutions optimized for SDLC analytics - including time-series storage for deployment events and metrics, dimensional modeling for applications and teams, event streaming for real-time dashboards, and a data warehouse layer for historical analysis and trend identification. Apply software engineering best practices: versioning, testing, CI/CD, and operational runbooks. Analysis, Tooling & Reporting: Build first-class analytics capabilities to measure engineering effectiveness through DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time to Change, Change Failure Rate, Mean Time to Recover). Partner with stakeholders to deliver intuitive visualizations, implement anomaly detection, and ship custom analytics tooling that drives continuous improvement across engineering organizations. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Branch your database like your code: How schema changes and pull requests go hand in hand](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/350-branch-your-database-like-your-code-how-schema-changes-and-pull-requests-go-hand-in-hand) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
