About The Position

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. Analyze and ensure compliance with international digital identity regulations and standards, including ISO/IEC 18013-5, ISO/IEC 23220, and ICAO standards (eMRTD, e-passport PKI); translate regulatory requirements into technical specifications for mobile implementation. Lead technical architecture and integration efforts with government agencies and third-party identity providers for digital credential issuance and verification programs. Lead the technical strategy and architecture for promoting faster global adoption of passport-based digital credentials, including integration with international identity standards and regional deployment requirements. Apply on-device machine learning models for identity verification, biometric matching, and fraud detection workflows. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on identity architecture, cryptographic implementation, and secure coding practices; lead technical design reviews and author architecture proposals for cross-functional review. Design analytics pipelines to monitor identity system health, adoption metrics, and fraud signals. Architect secure client-server identity protocols and API integrations; optimize performance of cryptographic operations, concurrency scheduling, and credential caching. Drive usability evaluations and incorporate findings into product decisions. 40 hours/week.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science or related field and 1 year of experience in the job offered or related occupation.
1 year of experience with Designing and implementing digital identity credential workflows, including device-bound key creation, credential issuance, renewal, and expiration handling on mobile platforms.
1 year of experience with Implementing client-side cryptographic operations such as asymmetric signing, certificate chain validation, and secure local storage of identity attributes within mobile environments.
1 year of experience with Building multi-factor authentication flows that integrate biometric sensors and possession-based verification signals, and embedding these flows into mobile authentication frameworks.
1 year of experience with Engineering mobile identity features that comply with region-specific privacy and data-protection requirements, including consent capture, attribute minimization, and jurisdiction-dependent retention rules.
1 year of experience with Implementing multi-step client-server identity verification flows using structured API patterns and secure session management techniques to retrieve, validate, and update credential information.
1 year of experience with Analyzing and applying international digital identity standards (ISO/IEC 18013-5, ISO/IEC 23220, ICAO eMRTD) to mobile credential implementations.
1 year of experience with Integrating mobile identity systems with external government agencies and third-party identity providers for credential issuance and verification.
1 year of experience with Applying on-device machine learning frameworks for identity verification, biometric matching, and fraud detection workflows.
1 year of experience with Optimizing performance of identity-related operations, including cryptographic computation, secure data serialization, concurrency scheduling, and local caching of credential materials.
1 year of experience with Designing and implementing identity-related functionality across iOS and watchOS platforms, including secure inter-device communication patterns and consistent credential-presentation workflows.
