Security Adoption Engineer

Job description

Apple's security product adoption team partners with engineering teams across the company to help them move from awareness to active use of Apple's internal security tooling. We're looking for a Security Adoption Engineer who operates at scale: someone who can guide hundreds of engineering teams toward adoption while simultaneously working with our product engineering teams to make the experience better for every team that comes after. This is a role where your instinct to eliminate friction is as important as your technical fluency. Minimum Qualifications: Experience in a systems administration, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or production services role. You know what it looks like to keep services running at scale. Practical familiarity with server-side environments: Linux/Unix, shell scripting (bash), infrastructure tooling (e.g., configuration management, deployment pipelines), and version control (Git). Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can run a meeting, write a clear summary, and produce a plan. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams independently without losing track of details or next steps. Preferred Qualifications: Background in a customer-facing technical role such as technical account management or solutions engineering, where you were responsible for a team's success, not just their implementation. Experience working across many teams simultaneously in a consulting, enablement, or platform team capacity. A track record of identifying the root cause behind repeated friction and advocating for structural fixes rather than one-off workarounds. Familiarity with security concepts relevant to software infrastructure: access control, credential management, secrets handling, or similar. Exposure to how large organizations roll out internal tooling at scale, what works, what gets stuck, and why. Strong instinct for identifying and communicating patterns across a portfolio rather than treating every engagement as a one-off.
