Apple's Security Engineering & Architecture organization is responsible for the security of all Apple products. Passionate about safeguarding our users, we believe that the best defense requires a great offense.

As a member of our group, your primary responsibility will be to conduct offensive security research in one or more of these areas, often in cross-functional teams.

This job is for individuals with outstanding technical skills, grit, and a genuine passion for breaking systems.

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