Senior Security Engineer - Kernel & Embedded Security, SEAR

Apple's Security Engineering \& Architecture organization is responsible for the security of all Apple products. Passionate about safeguarding our users, we take an offensive approach to defense \- finding and fixing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. When it comes to securing more than a billion devices running the world's most sophisticated operating systems, that means finding vulnerabilities first.

Can you make a difference on this scale? Join our extraordinary team of security researchers and help protect all Apple users.

Description

We engage in various activities, including vulnerability research, binary exploitation, security tooling development, fuzzing, machine learning, architecture changes recommandations and many more. By developing and harnessing state\-of\-the\-art technologies, we amplify our impact on Apple's product security.

In this role, your primary focus will be on the kernel and embedded layers of Apple platforms but extends to all parts of the platforms.

You will partner with vulnerability researchers to understand attacks found by others. You are going to propose architecture changes/mitigation in partnership with other experts in the field. You are going to drive these changes into the products by partnering with engineering teams. You will also work in cross\-functional teams alongside other researchers and engineering teams to evaluate and strengthen the most privileged layers of our products. You will also develop some proof of concept to validate some approaches.

This job is for individuals with outstanding technical skills, and a genuine passion for building things.

If this is you, we'd love to hear from you.
