TL;DR · AI Security Architect- ARC, Apple Information Security

Join Apple Information Security's Assurance ARC team as an AI Security Architect, a senior-level role requiring deep expertise in security architecture, AI/ML systems, and threat modeling. You will shape security guidance for critical AI initiatives across Apple’s products, services, and operations, conducting design reviews, selecting or building security solutions, and translating expert decisions into scalable AI-powered guidance. Your responsibilities include evaluating risks such as data poisoning and model manipulation while applying AI to automate threat modeling and control validation. Key skills required are a strong background in security architecture, experience with AI/ML concepts and regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act, proficiency in scripting languages like Python or Swift, and the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. This role is pivotal in enabling Apple to adopt AI securely at scale while staying ahead of evolving threats.

What you'll do

  • Develop "paved roads" for secure-by-default patterns in AI-driven systems.
  • Evaluate and mitigate risks such as data poisoning, model manipulation, and prompt injection.
  • Apply AI to automate threat modeling, design reviews, and control validation processes.
  • Codify security decisions into AI-powered guidance accessible to non-advisory teams.
  • Identify emerging AI/ML technologies and architectural patterns for future focus areas.
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to drive adoption of security requirements.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or Information Security, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Strong background in security architecture, application security, and cloud security.
  • Expertise in AI/ML concepts, pipelines, and associated risks like data poisoning and model theft.
  • Experience with threat modeling methodologies (e.g., STRIDE) and secure design principles.
  • Familiarity with AI regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
  • Proven ability to partner with engineering, data science, and product teams on security requirements.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming languages for security automation tasks.
