You will partner closely with platform and product engineering teams to embed security into every stage of the development lifecycle, ensuring guardrails never become friction. Your work will directly protect Apple customers and the engineers who build the products they rely on every day. Further, as part of this role, you will frequently collaborate with other security engineers and architects across Apple to identify, define and design security solutions which elevate overall security profile of Apple Services., * Develop internal frameworks, libraries, tools and processes that make the secure path the easiest path for every engineer on the platform * Design and implement security frameworks, controls, tooling, and automation for a Kubernetes-based multi-cloud platform serving Wallet & Payments Engineering * Champion secure-by-default infrastructure patterns and drive adoption of safe engineering practices across the organization without sacrificing developer velocity * Partner with platform, product, and infrastructure engineering teams to identify security risks and deliver pragmatic mitigations at the architectural level * Conduct threat modeling of new platform capabilities to incorporate security during early phases of platform development * Respond to and lead resolution of incidents affecting the security of developer platform, conducting thorough post-incident reviews * Work AI-forward by using coding agents and LLM-based tooling as a normal part of development, and own the correctness of what you ship regardless of what drafted it.
