We are the Apple Services Engineering (ASE) Security team. We build the secure systems and infrastructure that power Apple services like iCloud, Apple Music, Siri, and the App Store. We are expanding our team and looking for a Security Engineering Manager to lead the team that will help create next-generation security tools and services that safeguard Apple’s ecosystem, playing a direct role in protecting one of the most trusted and visible technology companies in the world.
In this role, you will own the strategy and execution for integrating security tools into engineering pipelines across Apple Services. You'll lead a team of engineers building production-grade automation and integrations that enable vulnerability management, assurance, and other security programs to operate at scale, without slowing down product teams. You'll partner with engineering leadership to shape how security is embedded across the organization, define what good looks like, and build the systems and culture to get there. This team is in a growth phase. You'll have influence over how the program is structured, where it invests, and what security looks like for Apple Services over the next several years.
  • Lead a team of engineers building the tooling and automation that power Apple Services' security programs — from pipeline integrations to workflow automation to shared security services
  • Define and drive the roadmap for embedding security into development pipelines, balancing rigor with developer velocity
  • Partner with vulnerability management, assurance, and other security programs to build integrations that help them operate across a large, fast-moving engineering organization
  • Influence how security is adopted across teams you don't directly own — through tooling design, partnerships, and making the right thing the easy thing
  • Make the program: define the metrics, tell the story of security posture, and connect engineering investments to business risk
  • Hire and develop strong engineers; build a team culture where technical excellence and security ownership go hand in hand
  • 7+ years of experience in security engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 10+ years leading technical teams
  • Track record of building or scaling security programs that serve multiple engineering organizations
  • Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and retain strong engineering talent
  • Experience influencing senior leadership on security strategy and investment priorities
  • Strong communicator — able to translate security risk into terms that resonate with engineering and business stakeholders
  • Experience in high-velocity, product-focused engineering environments
  • Background in software or platform engineering — ability to engage meaningfully on architecture and production systems
  • Experience building shared security platforms or services consumed across multiple teams
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning) and CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Experience driving adoption of security tooling across organizational boundaries without direct authority
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development practices and how they're changing secure software delivery
