Summary
Posted: Apr 6, 2022
Role Number:200364768
The Apple Media Products Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology. These are the people who power the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple’s high expectations with high performance to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 35 languages to more than 150 countries. These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services. Thanks to Apple’s unique integration of hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening Apple’s privacy policy, one of Apple’s core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple’s business than ever before, these teams remain small, nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here. The AMP Platform Security team is looking for a Monitoring/Detection Engineer to help us secure our complex and large-scale systems environment.
Key Qualifications
- Ability to consult with business owners and engineering teams to identify critical business flows that contain high risk activities/issues
- Experience designing actionable detection strategies/reports to effectively monitor and detect issues in high risk workflows
- Ability to work with engineering teams to ensure application-layer logging is sufficient for the desired detection objectives
- Experience working with large-scale logging/analytics tooling with a focus on detecting abuse or creating bespoke business reports
- This is an opportunity to own and drive a significant portion of the protection strategy of AMP’s critical assets.
Description
The Apple Media Product (AMP) group manages a number of high value, high risk business processes that must be effectively monitored to protect against relevant threats. The monitoring and detection engineer will be responsible for developing a detection strategy centered around business-specific risks that results in actionable reporting for business owners. This requires collaborating with business units to inventory AMP’s critical assets and workflows to identify relevant monitoring objectives. The security engineer will also need to coordinate with Apple’s central Threat Response team to ensure alignment on monitoring strategies and responsibilities. As needed, this engineer will support security investigations of open or potential security incidents. This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong threat response/detection background who is interested in working directly in a business unit to reduce business risk. We are seeking a self-motivated engineer who can develop a long-term monitoring and detection vision and a roadmap to ensure AMP’s assets are appropriately protected.
Education & Experience
3+ years in a related security engineering role Experience with anomaly detection tooling or big data analysis is a plus
