We design, develop, and deploy software which operates at scale and is foundational for some of our most important services, such as iCloud. In this role you will have a unique opportunity to participate in delivering some of the world's largest-scale cloud services and products. We are seeking an experienced software engineering manager to be part of maintaining and building a highly skilled team providing a layer underpinning consumer-facing applications, services, and products at Apple. The performance and security of the systems we build are critical. We typically interface directly to low-level Linux kernel interfaces, using asynchronous I/O and threads to distribute workload. Experience with systems languages such as C, C++, Go, Java, Swift, and/or Rust is valuable, as is familiarity with Unix-type operating systems and concepts.

In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining security for iCloud entities. You will be responsible for ensuring the team is on track, meeting set goals, and making adjustments based on data as needed. It is also expected that you will both drive and be a significant contributor to key technical and strategic decisions as they relate to the team’s work.

  • Profound infrastructure and security architecture design capabilities; capable of integrating security requirements into system design based on business context and technical requirements with great maintainability and usability.
  • Understand the security architecture of cloud computing; be familiar with security solutions in public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud environments with a solid background in distributed architecture, microservice architecture, storage system load balancing, fault-tolerance mechanism, etc.
  • Proven track record of successfully designing and implementing secure software systems in complex and large scale enterprise environments, including security system development, security assessment, and security rectification/remediation
  • Exhibiting outstanding cross-team communication skills as iCloud is a complex and large organization. You must be capable of clearly expressing security requirements and solutions (to executive levels), and promoting the implementation of security measures.
  • Expertise with software security primitives and performance concepts, certificates, and Identity
  • Demonstrated skill and expertise with Unix-type operating systems
