The SPEAR Systems & Kernel team at Apple is seeking a collaborative and driven Systems & Kernel Software Engineer to enhance the security of end-user devices by addressing critical software engineering challenges in lower stack layers such as bootloaders, drivers, firmware, and the kernel. This role involves designing robust security defenses that improve device security without compromising performance or user experience, requiring expertise in C, C++, and Swift for writing production-quality low-level code. The ideal candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to implement memory-safe technologies, deploy static and dynamic analysis tools, and refactor critical codebases while ensuring thorough testing and documentation. Candidates should have a strong background in systems programming, software security, and an understanding of how low-level code interacts with hardware, along with experience using modern tooling like LLMs to accelerate development processes.
