  • 5 or more years conducting security reviews, threat modeling, tracking findings, and communicating risk to engineering and leadership.
  • Hands-on experience in cloud security engineering with expertise in securing at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or AliCloud) in production environments.
  • Deep technical knowledge of cloud-native security controls including identity and access management, network security, encryption, and logging/monitoring services.
  • Proven experience working with policy-as-code frameworks to enforce security guardrails at scale.
  • Strong background in third-party risk assessment and vendor security reviews.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop security requirements and design documentation for complex cloud environments.
  • Conversant in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Go, or Swift.
  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience preferred.
  • Experience securing cloud-native applications and workloads including containerized environments and serverless architectures.
  • Experience with multiple cloud platforms and the ability to perform comparative security analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary security team point of contact for several large engineering efforts.
  • Work with engineering teams throughout their development lifecycle.
  • Conduct security reviews and develop threat models.
  • Build standard methodologies based on insights from security engagements.
  • Define, automate, and advocate for platform-wide security improvements.
  • Raise the security bar for all engineering teams at Apple.
  • Develop proof of concept systems to automate security recommendations and vulnerability discovery.
  • Use data to drive security review efficiency and prioritize high-value security team engagement.
  • Make security decisions impacting millions of users.

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.
