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. When it comes to securing more than a billion devices running the world's most sophisticated operating systems, that means finding vulnerabilities first.
Can you make a difference on this scale? Join our extraordinary team of security researchers and help protect all Apple users.

We engage in diverse activities, including vulnerability research, binary exploitation, security tooling development, fuzzing, machine learning, and many more. By developing and harnessing state-of-the-art technologies, we amplify our impact on Apple's product security.
We cover a wide range of specialities, including operating systems, firmware, microarchitecture, hardware, browser, messaging applications, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, baseband, physical attacks including side-channel and fault injection, incident response, and more. 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.
