Senior Software Engineer - Secure Transports (Transparency)

Embedded within Apple’s Security Engineering & Architecture organization, the Secure Transports team’s mission is to deliver world-class cryptographic and secure protocols engineering. At the heart of an organization dedicated to building the most secure operating system in the world and putting it in the hands of millions of customers, the team is looking for a motivated software engineer to help push its technologies to the next level. You will join a team that provides the security foundations for data in motion across all of Apple’s innovative products, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, and Vision Pro. You will contribute to the entire system, from the kernel up through libraries, frameworks, and applications. As an engineer, you will have the opportunity to majorly impact the design and implementation of Apple’s embedded and desktop operating system products, collaborating closely with all other security partners, ranging from our Silicon Engineering group to our Cloud Services group. Designing and developing software for hundreds of millions of users. People who LOVE the products you make. Working for a company whose dedication to user privacy is at the heart of everything it does. Being surrounded by the most creative, passionate, talented engineers in the industry.
