About the job
The Detection team within Apple Services Engineering (ASE) is responsible for finding threat actors attacking approximately three quarters of Apple's systems and services. We do this by partnering closely with engineering teams to build a deep technical understanding of how their systems work, and a comprehensive understanding of the threats against them.
Our team is built around two halves that learn from each other quickly. One half builds the on-host detection and response agent that runs across Apple's datacenter fleet. The other half, which you will lead, builds the fleet-scale detection and response platform that sits above those hosts. It fuses signals from hosts, applications, cloud control planes and identity into a small stream of high-confidence security findings, and it applies agentic AI to detection, triage, response and threat hunting so that machines do the work that humans cannot scale to do. The two halves depend on each other, and the speed of the feedback loop between them is one of the team's greatest strengths.
