Job description
from Apple careersAt Apple, new insights often become revolutionary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job, and there's no telling what you could accomplish. The Emerging Technologies team within IS&T specializes in building forward-looking, extremely scalable systems and solutions in two areas: Information Security and general-purpose, reusable platforms in the space of Integration and Orchestration. The team has a passion for solving challenging problems, exploring new domains, and engineering transformational solutions. We operate with a startup mindset — lean teams, high ownership, and technical leaders who flex across domains to build and scale new capabilities.
The Emerging Technologies team is seeking an industry-recognized Architect to serve as the domain expert for Apple's perimeter and network security platform. You will be the technical authority across the full traffic path — edge proxies, origin/application load balancers, service mesh, and API & AI security gateways — architecting the defenses that protect Apple's services at scale. We are looking for someone who brings deep, proven expertise in perimeter security, threat mitigation, and proxy technologies — a technical leader whose experience and reputation precede them.
