Description For IAM Architect

Apple is seeking a highly skilled and hands-on IAM Architect to join the Security team within Apple Service Engineering (ASE). This role focuses on designing, implementing, and optimizing Identity and Access Management systems that power Apple's global services like Apple TV, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Fitness, iCloud, Siri, and Maps.

The position requires deep technical expertise in IAM frameworks, authentication protocols, and access control mechanisms. You'll be working at Apple scale, which demands creativity to build world-class security meeting customer expectations. Beyond familiarity with AWS IAM, GCP IAM, and third-party systems, you'll need to understand how to scale and transform systems securely.

Key responsibilities include leading the design of scalable IAM infrastructure components, from hardware root identity to fine-grain access control, architecting authentication frameworks, and collaborating across teams to align IAM strategies with business needs. You'll work with stakeholders at all levels, from engineers to executives, to drive a unified security strategy across compute, storage, network, data warehouse, and business operations.

The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of IAM experience, strong technical leadership background, and proficiency in programming languages like Golang or Java. Knowledge of cloud IAM platforms, privileged access management, and understanding of hardware security mechanisms are crucial. You'll be part of a team that builds the foundation for Apple's services, ensuring they remain secure and highly available for billions of customers worldwide.

Benefits include competitive base pay ($197,400-$360,200), equity opportunities through stock programs, comprehensive healthcare, retirement benefits, education reimbursement, and various Apple-specific perks. Join us in crafting the security infrastructure that protects Apple's next generation of services and innovations.
