You will define, advocate and drive adoption for a common set of minimum security requirements and measure progress along the way. This is not a checkbox role, baselines are only meaningful if they are mapped to a reasonable threat, and the recommended mitigation is possible via battle-tested tools that exist today. You’ll set the bar and shape the future of our security standards, by iterating on your experience with engineering team challenges as they adopt practices and tools to develop securely.

Excellent understanding of operating systems concepts including multi-threading, memory management, networking and storage, performance and scale.

Understanding of MacOS security primitives is a bonus.
