Job description

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to enhance the security of our critical applications and infrastructure, particularly focusing on AI/ML systems. This role involves leading security assessments, conducting threat modeling, and ensuring security requirements are integrated throughout our technology ecosystem. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to promote a culture of proactive risk management and security best practices. The position requires a strong understanding of emerging technologies and the ability to communicate security risks effectively.

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Security, or 5+ years of equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Experience conducting security assessments of complex distributed systems, cloud-native applications, and large-scale infrastructure.
  • Experience developing security requirements, threat models, or risk assessments for new and emerging technologies.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts including model training pipelines, inference services, vector databases, agentic systems, and LLM-based applications.
  • Understanding of common AI/ML security risks including prompt injection, insecure tool use, data leakage, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey security risk to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Research and identify emerging technologies, threats, and vulnerabilities to define security requirements and controls proactively.
  • Conduct hands-on security assessments of AI applications and infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities and security risks across the full AI/ML stack.
  • Develop techniques, tooling, and automation to support and scale security assessments of AI applications and infrastructure.
  • Partner with engineering teams to develop tools and procedures that shift security left in the AI application development lifecycle.
  • Evangelize assessment tools, security processes, and proven solutions across engineering teams to drive consistent adoption of security best practices.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
