Our software runs on the execution path for every program on all of our products. We’re often referred to as the first line of defense in Apple’s defense-in-depth strategy. Our products are infamous within the security community, and each year we push them to the next level.

We’re a small team with a huge impact. As an engineer joining this team, you would be contributing to the entire system.
