Job description

The Privacy Engineering team at Apple is seeking an experienced engineer to focus on App Store and Media Services & Apps. This role involves ensuring that Apple's products and services protect user privacy while developing privacy-preserving features. The engineer will work closely with various teams to identify privacy exposures, guide the development of data collection systems, and communicate privacy risks to senior leadership. A passion for protecting privacy and the ability to solve complex problems independently are essential for success in this position.

Requirements

  • Ability to analyze systems' architectures for privacy impact
  • Experience providing privacy guidance to services and analytics systems
  • Ability to learn and research new technologies rapidly, assess privacy exposures, and recommend mitigations
  • Passion for customer privacy
  • Strong collaboration, communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills
  • Ability to solve complex problems independently

Responsibilities

  • Review features to identify privacy exposures and provide guidance to engineers and leaders on the right privacy technology to use.
  • Audit new products to identify bugs in development and review customer data collected by engineering teams to drive decisions for privacy impact.
  • Communicate privacy risks and potential mitigations to senior leadership to drive decisions.
  • Guide the development of data collection systems that enable understanding of feature usage, conversion, and subscription retention while preserving privacy.
  • Identify emerging privacy threats.
  • Partner with technical experts in ASE to develop the roadmap for privacy architecture patterns for services and their analytics systems.

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.
