Security Site Reliability Engineer - Apple Service Engineering

People at Apple don’t just build products — they craft the kind of experience

that have revolutionized entire industries. The diverse collection of our people

and their ideas inspire innovation in everything we do. Imagine what you could

do here! Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. The

Apple Service Engineering (ASE) team builds and provides systems and

infrastructure that fuel Apple’s services (such as iCloud, iTunes, Siri, and

Maps). We are the foundation on which Apple’s software developers build the

products that our customers love. We are looking for passionate and talented

Site Reliability Engineer to continue our focus in providing our customers the

highest quality Apple Services experience. Our services have to scale globally,

stay highly available, and "just work.” If you love designing, engineering and

running systems and infrastructure that will help millions of customers, then

this is the place for you! The services that this team manages are foundational

security services. From host access and disk encryption to identity and

authentication, these services are both critical for operational as well as

securing Apples fleet and protecting out most critical data. This is a role on a

new SRE team dedicated to these security services, who will work in deep

partnership with the ASE Security dev team to bring up and mature new services

as part of our infrastructure investments.

design, implement, and maintain security measures, incident response protocols,

and automation tools to enhance the overall security posture of our

organisation. You will define, advocate and drive adoption for a common set of

minimum security requirements and measure progress along the way. This is not a

checkbox role, baselines are only meaningful if they are mapped to a reasonable

threat, and the recommended mitigation is possible via battle-tested tools that

exist today. You’ll set the bar and shape the future of our security standards,

by iterating on your experience with engineering team challenges as they adopt

practices and tools to develop securely.
