  • Identify and remediate risks in authentication, authorization, credential handling, and privileged activity visibility
  • Modernize fleet management and coordinate with internal teams and tools
  • Define secure out-of-band management for Apple—from access segmentation to firmware delivery and hardware roots of trust
  • Support automated systems access scenarios and work with multiple stakeholder teams (datacenter ops, SRE, hardware, network, detection)
  • Drive architecture decisions, cross-team migrations, mentorship, and communication of security trade-offs

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with end-to-end ownership of a production system or platform

  • Experience finding/fixing security flaws in networked services through code review, threat modeling or security testing
  • Track record of technical leadership: architecture decisions, cross-team migrations, mentoring, communicating security trade-offs
  • Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers, and running PostgreSQL in production
  • Experience managing lifecycle of secrets and credentials at fleet scale (rotation, emergency access)
  • Experience building/operating highly available distributed services
  • Familiarity with network segmentation and zero-trust access patterns (identity-aware proxies)
