TL;DR · AI & Data Security Engineer

As an AI & Data Security Engineer at Apple, you will join the Sales and Business Development team to secure data throughout the entire AI lifecycle. Your daily tasks include designing robust security policies for AI pipelines, chat interfaces, and autonomous agents, ensuring compliance with enterprise policy and regulatory requirements such as GDPR and CCPA. You will implement row-level security in Snowflake and other platforms, manage API-driven access controls, and lead red team exercises to identify vulnerabilities. Essential skills include expertise in RBAC, API security protocols like OAuth2 and JWT, proficiency in Python or Java, and experience with data privacy regulations. This role demands a deep understanding of AI/ML security and the ability to collaborate effectively across Legal, Privacy, and Engineering teams to establish enterprise-wide standards for secure-by-default practices at scale.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement security architecture for AI use cases with role-based access controls.
  • Ensure compliance of AI data usage with Apple’s data classification standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Implement row-level security policies based on user identity across Snowflake and other data systems.
  • Lead adversarial testing to identify vulnerabilities in AI systems and drive remediation efforts.
  • Define and enforce data access boundaries for AI agents and LLM-powered chat applications.
  • Develop and enforce US-wide AI data security standards and developer guidelines at scale.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional experience in data security, cybersecurity, or related fields with a focus on security architecture and data engineering.
  • Proven hands-on experience designing and implementing RBAC, row-level, and column-level security policies in modern cloud data platforms like Snowflake and Databricks/DBX.
  • Strong expertise in API security controls, including authentication and authorization protocols such as OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, and JWT.
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Python, Java, or Go for scripting, automation, and building security controls within data pipelines.
  • Solid understanding of data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and experience translating regulatory requirements into technical governance and access controls.
  • Experience implementing security logging, audit trails, and monitoring solutions to detect unauthorized access or data exfiltration attempts.
