INTRODUCTION
Our team is on a mission to build innovative infrastructure and tools to help other engineers be more productive and make software easier to create, build and distribute. We believe that streamlining software engineering is an important part of unlocking developer creativity and innovation, and we love it when Apple customers see that in the products we ship.
DESCRIPTION
We are looking for technically hands-on engineers who want to ship high-performance distributed systems that solve real-world problems at Apple scale. You would join a team of engineers who build innovative storage and backend service while tackling interesting challenges in a supportive, balanced environment.
We spend most of our time building software and automation, but equally important is the work we do collaborating with teams across Apple, understanding their operational challenges, and iterating on scalable, long-term solutions together.
In your role as an engineer on our team you will:
- Engineer distributed services, tooling, and operational standards
- Collaborate with teams to refine requirements and implement lasting solutions
- Drive service scalability, resiliency, and performance
- Take ownership over components critical to Apple's success
- Optimize system performance through algorithm design and testing
- Scale services to ever-increasing problem sizes
- Improve service operability using metrics and log data
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Experience with high-performance, strongly typed languages such as Go, Rust, Scala, or others
- Experience with building and operating distributed systems
- Familiarity with some large infrastructure systems like Kubernetes
- Strong interest in distributed storage, observability, reliability, and cloud services
- Interest in working across different levels of the stack, including debugging OS-level issues such as memory and concurrency problems
- Ability to efficiently develop, debug, and support new technologies in a changing environment
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Familiarity with application and service monitoring tools and techniques
- Experience with incident management and response
- Education & Experience: BS in Computer Science or equivalent, related 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 $147,400 and $272,100, 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.
Note: Apple benefit, compensation and employee stock programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program.
Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We seek to promote equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.

Align your portfolio to Apple's infrastructure stack
Apple's DevOps org runs heavily on Kubernetes, Terraform, and internal CI/CD tooling at massive scale. Before applying, document specific projects where you reduced deployment failures or improved system reliability across distributed environments.
Target teams managing Apple's cloud and on-prem hybrid systems
Apple operates a hybrid infrastructure model unlike most pure-cloud employers. Roles tied to iCloud, App Store, or Apple Silicon toolchains tend to require deeper infrastructure ownership, which strengthens the specialty occupation case for your visa petition.
Get your credentials evaluated before the LCA stage
If your degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation completed before your employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL. Delays at this stage can push your start date back by weeks, which matters when you're managing OPT or grace period timelines.
Clarify your visa type preference during the offer stage
Apple sponsors multiple visa categories for DevOps engineers. If you're Australian, the E-3 avoids the H-1B lottery entirely. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm whether your team will support H-1B cap-season filing before your OPT expiry, so you're not caught in a status gap.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Senior DevOps roles at Apple
Sponsorship-eligible DevOps openings at Apple don't always surface clearly on general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter Apple's active Senior DevOps Engineer listings by visa type so you're only spending time on roles that match your sponsorship situation.
Prepare for Apple's technical loop before discussing immigration
Apple's engineering interview process for senior-level DevOps roles typically includes system design rounds focused on large-scale distributed systems. Immigration questions come after an offer is extended, so your technical preparation determines whether you reach the sponsorship conversation at all.

Find Senior Devops Engineer at Apple JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Apple sponsor H-1B visas for Senior Devops Engineers?
Yes, Apple sponsors H-1B visas for Senior DevOps Engineers. Apple is a well-established H-1B sponsor with a consistent history of filing petitions for technical roles in this function. If you're currently on F-1 OPT, Apple can file your H-1B cap-season petition through USCIS before your OPT expires, provided your offer is in place before the April 1 filing window.
How do I apply for Senior Devops Engineer jobs at Apple?
Apply directly through Apple's careers site and filter by DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering roles at the senior level. Tailor your resume to reflect infrastructure ownership at scale, not just tooling familiarity. Migrate Mate also surfaces Apple's open Senior DevOps Engineer roles filtered by visa sponsorship type, which helps you identify the right listings faster without sifting through roles that don't apply to your situation.
Which visa types does Apple commonly sponsor for Senior Devops Engineers?
Apple sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based Green Card categories including EB-2 and EB-3 for DevOps roles. Australians frequently use the E-3 pathway since it bypasses the H-1B lottery and allows unlimited two-year renewals. Canadian and Mexican nationals often use the TN visa. For long-term permanent residence, Apple supports PERM-based Green Card sponsorship for senior engineers.
What qualifications does Apple expect for Senior Devops Engineers?
Apple expects senior-level candidates to have deep experience with container orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, and large-scale CI/CD systems. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field is standard, and this degree requirement is what qualifies the role as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards. Hands-on experience with Apple's scale, meaning billions of device endpoints and global data centers, is the benchmark interviewers use.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take if I receive an offer from Apple?
Timeline depends on your visa category. For H-1B, your employer files with USCIS between April 1 and the cap deadline, with employment starting October 1 at the earliest. E-3 and TN visas can move faster, often resolving within a few weeks of receiving your offer documents. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship runs separately and can take two or more years depending on your country of birth and DOL audit timelines.
