The Senior Software Engineer will be part of the software supply chain security team within Apple Services Engineering. This role focuses on designing, writing, and shipping production software that enhances security across Apple's services. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to build tooling and services that ensure secure software development and operation. The position requires strong distributed systems engineering skills and the ability to integrate security controls into existing workflows.

Requirements

  • 13+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including production ownership of non-trivial systems.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in at least two programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java.
  • Solid working knowledge of software supply chain security concepts, including package and dependency risk.
  • Experience designing, building, and operating agentic systems and LLM-integrated applications in production.
  • Familiarity with application security assurance methodologies, including static and dynamic analysis approaches.
  • Experience designing and operating distributed backends, APIs, and services with meaningful uptime and performance requirements.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and integrating security controls into them.
  • Comfortable operating in Linux and macOS environments, with proficiency in a shell scripting language such as Bash.
  • Experience with threat modeling, taint analysis, or other program-analysis techniques.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience in a related field.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, test, and operate security services and features.
  • Participate in code and security reviews to ensure high-quality software delivery.
  • Conduct research and prototyping to present ideas and designs to the team and management.
  • Own significant components end to end and remain close to the code as those components evolve.
  • Build automated security assurance tools that produce trusted findings.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, platform, and product security teams to enhance security 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.
