Job description
SPEAR is a team of engineers in Apple’s Security Engineering & Architecture (SEAR) organization focused on strengthening security across all of Apple’s operating systems. We work in a lot of different codebases, at every layer of the stack, on features that ship to over a billion people without getting in their way.
We're looking for a senior engineer to build the automation and intelligence tooling that lets us ship that work with confidence. You'll design the harnesses, infrastructure, and AI-assisted workflows that make correctness verifiable across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Help us accelerate our security hardening work with the AI tooling to match its scale. You'll join a multi-functional team covering every layer of the operating system - from apps to the kernel - working directly with feature engineers in SEAR and across the wider OS organization.
Day to day, you'll decide where automation is worth building, then build it. You own the question of how this team proves that security-critical code does what it claims, without degrading the experience for our customers. You will also help us define AI-native security-based development by assessing where agents accelerate our work and where manual testing and human oversight remain necessary to safeguard the customer experience.
