The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Apple is hiring a DevOps Engineer in Des Moines, IA.

• Role description

  Picture a DevOps Engineer role where Azure DevOps expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and Apple in Des Moines, IA is building exactly that. The Des Moines role is less about the $90,000 - $130,000 and more about what 7 years of Python lets you own at Apple.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Own the senior Amazon ECS workstream that unblocks the rest of Apple's Des Moines, IA roadmap
  • Watch Disaster Recovery error budgets and pump the brakes before Des Moines, IA burns through them
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Des Moines, IA and remote teams
  • Sketch Site Reliability Engineering sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone

  What You'll Bring

  • Experience translating Networking complexity for a non-technical audience
  • Roughly 6+ years operating in a similar DevOps Engineer position
  • 5 years of Terraform práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
  • Fluency in Bash Scripting earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Calm under the craft-obsessed chaos a senior role tends to generate
  • Active Listening fundamentals plus the Azure DevOps polish clients notice
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings

  Apple was founded on a hunch that technology could be far less awful, and Des Moines turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. As a senior DevOps Engineer, you'll have a real voice in shaping how the technology team operates.

  We start the conversation at $90,000 - $130,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from IA.

  Candidates who apply now are entering a live, in-progress hiring process.

  The candidates who apply early at Apple are the ones we remember, so be early.
