Job description

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Embedded within Apple’s Security Engineering & Architecture organization, this role is on an engineering team that builds security infrastructure into Apple’s production build system and provides security engineering expertise and leadership across Apple to create security controls, observability, detections, responses, and workflows.
