At Apple, great ideas become products that touch the lives of billions. The people here don't just build technology; they create experiences that transform entire industries. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation running through everything we do.

Apple's Wallet, Payments & Commerce (WPC) team is at the center of that work, redefining how people pay, access, and interact with financial services every day. Our work powers mission-critical experiences like Apple Pay, Apple Cash, Apple Card, Identity, Transit, Access, Tap to Pay, and connected services that enable commerce at global scale. Beneath these customer-facing features lies a world-class, highly resilient, and scalable technical foundation.

We are looking for a Manager of Engineering Program Management to lead our Infrastructure EPM team. In this role, you will lead complex, large-scale technical programs spanning cloud engineering, data services, traffic and network management, systems engineering, partner connectivity, and site reliability. You are a proven people leader with technical depth who thrives on mentoring teams, driving operational rigor, and translating complex architectural challenges into dependable execution.

This role leads program management across the foundational infrastructure, scalability, and reliability portfolio powering Wallet, Payments & Commerce. You will partner directly with Infrastructure, Service Operations, and cross-functional partner teams across Apple to drive end-to-end planning, architectural alignment, and flawless operational delivery.

As a people leader, you will mentor, guide, and scale a team of Engineering Program Managers, establishing operational best practices and instilling a culture of technical rigor, accountability, and proactive risk mitigation. You are equally comfortable leading technical discussions in areas such as infrastructure, site reliability, and operations with engineers as you are communicating program roadmaps, trade-offs, and strategic risks to executive leadership.
