About The Position

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming
extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. The
people who work here have reinvented entire industries with Apple Hardware
products. Are you a technical leader who can drive decisions, not just track
them? Can you influence across silicon and software organizations to turn
security requirements into committed, shipped features? Security and privacy are
foundational to everything we build at Apple. They are not afterthoughts—they
are core design principles embedded from the earliest stages of product
development. From the silicon up, we engineer our products to protect user data,
ensure device integrity, and earn the trust our customers place in us every day.
This commitment requires deep technical investment and relentless focus across
hardware, software, and services.
