TL;DR · Sr. Privacy Systems Software Engineer, Sensing & Connectivity

As a Senior Privacy Systems Software Engineer on Apple’s privacy engineering team, you will design and implement robust production systems in C, Objective-C, and Swift to enforce privacy controls across all Apple platforms. Your daily tasks include architecting permission frameworks, enhancing privacy architecture against new threats, and developing foundational components that ensure data protection across operating systems. You will address cutting-edge challenges posed by generative AI technologies, such as controlling access to sensitive user data for on-device models and designing consent mechanisms for AI-driven workflows. This role requires proficiency in C, Objective-C, Swift, and Unix-like systems programming, along with experience in building reliable daemons and fault-tolerant error handling. Ideal candidates have a background in macOS or Unix systems programming and practical knowledge of generative AI tools within an engineering context.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement production systems in C, Objective-C, and Swift to enforce privacy controls across Apple platforms.
  • Architect permission frameworks that control access to sensitive user data by on-device models and intelligent features.
  • Strengthen privacy architecture against evolving threat vectors affecting AI-driven technologies.
  • Build foundational components for privacy-preserving on-device inference in generative AI systems.
  • Design fault-tolerant error handling mechanisms for long-running system daemons related to privacy controls.

What we're looking for

  • Proficient in C, Objective-C, Swift, and Unix-like systems programming.
  • Design experience for system-level APIs and background daemons.
  • Expertise in building reliable, fault-tolerant long-running system daemons.
  • Strong understanding of privacy engineering and security software architecture.
  • Practical knowledge of generative AI tools and responsible AI development.
