Senior Security Developer Tools Engineer (Dynamic Analysis)
Job Description
Summary
Apple’s dynamic program analysis tools help millions of developers inside and outside of Apple find, fix, and prevent security and stability bugs. We are looking for a senior engineer with a strong background in systems-level developer tooling to lead the technical planning, design, and implementation of dynamic bug-finding tools. This role will involve developing compiler- and OS-assisted program analysis features, mentoring engineers, and partnering with operating system and security teams to improve the security and reliability of software in the Apple ecosystem. We value communication skills, integrity, and creativity, and aspire to build diverse, balanced and dynamic teams.
Description
In this role your primary responsibility will be to act as technical lead for a team of dynamic analysis engineers who ship tools to fix software bugs to millions of users. This team collaborates closely with operating systems engineers and security engineers to improve the security and stability of C, C++, Objective-C, and Swift codebases in Apple’s platform and ecosystem. We are active contributors to the Clang/LLVM and Swift open source communities.
You will:
– Help develop and execute on a technical roadmap to build program analysis tools to continually improve the security of Apple’s operating system software stack, including user space, kernel, and firmware environments
– Work with cross-functional teams to design, plan, and deliver high-quality software features for our tools and operating systems
– Strengthen the team by mentoring junior engineers
– Grow strong connections to the Clang/LLVM and Swift open source communities and represent Apple in open source
– Develop new program analysis tools and checks by driving feature planning, design, implementation and roll out strategy
You will foster collaboration with IDE and CI teams as well as teams across Apple to formulate priorities and set goals for the team. Your work will directly improve the development experience for millions of developers across the world.
Here you’ll find that we:
– Have a supportive and tight-knit team
– Provide mentorship on technical as well as managerial skills
– Have an encouraging and growth-focused workplace culture
If this sounds of interest to you, we'd love to hear from you!
