TL;DR · Senior Security Engineering Manager, Agentic Detection & Threat Hunting

The Senior Security Engineering Manager - Agentic Detection & Threat Hunting leads a team within the Detection team of Apple Services Engineering. This technical leadership role involves managing experienced engineers to build a fleet-scale detection and response platform that sits above on-host agents. The manager will oversee the fusion of signals from hosts, applications, cloud control planes, and identity into high-confidence security findings. Key responsibilities include deploying autonomous GenAI workflows for detection, triage, response, and threat hunting to automate tasks beyond human scale. Required skills include experience with Spark, Databricks, and large-scale data processing platforms, alongside deep domain expertise in security telemetry, correlation, and alert handling. The role solves the problem of identifying threat actors across vast systems by creating automated, privacy-preserving security responses.

What you'll do

  • Lead a team of engineers to build a fleet-scale detection and response platform.
  • Fuse signals from hosts, applications, cloud control planes, and identity into high-confidence security findings.
  • Deploy agentic AI workflows to automate detection, triage, response, and threat hunting.
  • Manage the engineering team's performance, coaching, and technical output.
  • Partner with on-host agent teams to maintain a fast feedback loop for detection improvements.
  • Collaborate with security partners to manage platform dependencies and operational delivery.
  • Design automated or semi-automated response and containment systems for security incidents.
  • Translate threat hunting results into improved, production-ready security detections.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience managing engineering teams.
  • 8+ years of professional experience building and shipping production software or data systems.
  • Experience deploying standalone GenAI or agentic workflows to production for detection, response, or threat hunting.
  • Deep domain experience in security detection and response, including attacker behavior and telemetry analysis.
  • Experience with large-scale security data and detection platforms, including pipelines, correlation, and alert handling.
  • Experience leading threat hunting or detection engineering teams and turning results into improved detections (preferred).
  • Experience with Spark, Databricks, or similar large-scale data processing platforms and streaming alert pipelines (preferred).
  • Experience designing automated or semi-automated response and containment (preferred).
