Role Number: 200469005
The Apple Media Products Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of Apple's long-held passion for combining art and technology. These are the people who power the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple's high expectations with high performance to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 35 languages to more than 150 countries. These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions. They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and the APIs for many Apple services. Thanks to Apple's unique integration of hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening Apple's privacy policy, one of Apple's core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple's business than ever before, these teams remain small, nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here. The AMP Platform Security team is looking for a Kubernetes Security Engineer to help us secure our complex and large-scale Kubernetes infrastructure.

- Experience designing security solutions and implementing standard methodologies to harden Kubernetes in the cloud (e.g. GCP, AWS, etc)

- Experience mapping generic corporate security/compliance requirements to a Kubernetes environment
- Experience partnering closely with business units/engineering teams to facilitate Kubernetes adoption in a secure manner

This includes performing architecture and design reviews for new Kubernetes technologies and developing security policies and requirements for teams looking to adopt Kubernetes. The Kubernetes Cloud Security Engineer will also collaborate extensively with internal and external stakeholders to ensure AMP business units are able to securely and efficiently embrace Kubernetes in a manner that is aligned with Apple policy. This is a phenomenal opportunity for someone with a strong cloud security/Kubernetes background who is interested in working directly in a business unit to reduce business risk and improve product security!
