Software Engineer, AI Infrastructure

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Embedded within Apple’s Security Engineering & Architecture organization, this role is on an engineering team that builds security infrastructure into Apple’s production build system and provides security engineering expertise and leadership across Apple to create security controls, observability, detections, responses, and workflows. We build the secure platform Apple relies on to apply AI safely to high-stakes engineering. You would design and operate services that sit in the critical path for engineering across Apple. You would work on AI infrastructure and tooling that sits in the critical path at Apple-scale and high reliability demands. You will build and operate high-throughput, multi-region services: load shaping, capacity and quota allocation, observability, and large-scale cost controls. You will solve security problems that do not have textbook answers yet, collaborating with some of the world’s best security experts.
