As part of Apple's Security Engineering & Architecture (SEAR) organization, you'll join our mission to create the world's most secure products. We are committed to build groundbreaking tools that empower our security researchers to deeply analyze Apple's codebases and frameworks and surface security concerns efficiently and at scale.
We are seeking a DevOps Software Engineer to take ownership of taking security research prototypes and scaling them into reliable, production-grade services. By combining infrastructure and software development, you will directly contribute to our mission to create the world's most secure products.
Description
A strong candidate for this role is passionate about building reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure that directly amplifies security research impact. You will work closely with security researchers, located worldwide, to transform internal research tools - including binary analysis frameworks, static analysis pipelines, and ML-powered data intelligence engines - into robust production services used by teams across Apple. You will own the complete journey: from evaluating prototype readiness and hardening codebases for scale, through deployment, to ongoing reliable operation.
On the development side, you will assess existing research codebases for production readiness, extend and improve them for scale, and build the service APIs and integrations that make them accessible to a broader audience. On the infrastructure side, you will design containerized deployments, establish CI/CD pipelines, implement secrets management and access controls, and build monitoring and observability practices that keep platforms performant and security.","responsibilities":"You will be directly responsible for DevOps support across your partner research teams - gathering requirements, architecting solutions, leading rollouts, and communicating progress and impact to engineers, managers, and leaders across the organization. You will bring equal rigor to code quality, security posture, and operational excellence - balancing all three to maximize SEAR's ability to proactively secure Apple products at scale.
