Apple Services Engineering is seeking a Senior Security Engineer to collaborate with various engineering teams on new products and features. The role focuses on implementing security early in the design phase through threat modeling and security guidance. The engineer will work closely with developers, site reliability engineers, and security teams to enhance the security of Apple's services. This position requires a deep understanding of security practices and the ability to drive security improvements across engineering efforts.

Requirements

  • 10 or more years conducting security reviews and threat modeling.
  • Knowledgeable about distributed systems design patterns and their security implications.
  • Deep understanding of cloud-native architecture and managed platform services.
  • Experience with multi-tenant system design and securing SaaS and PaaS offerings.
  • Conversant in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Go, or Swift.
  • Experience with security standard processes in third-party cloud environments.
  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience preferred.
  • Experience with securing container orchestration systems like Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary security team point of contact for large engineering efforts.
  • Conduct security reviews and develop threat models throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Define, automate, and advocate for platform-wide security improvements.
  • Partner with colleagues to enhance security practices across engineering teams.
  • Use data to drive security review efficiency and prioritize high-value engagements.
  • Develop proof of concept systems to automate security recommendations and workflows.

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.
