Summary

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, contributing to the values that lead to
phenomenal work. Every new product we build, services we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver, is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that encourages the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives.
Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. The Crypto Services team powers Apple’s promise of privacy and security by protecting some of the most sensitive data at Apple - cryptographic keys. These are the people who run Apple’s Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple’s high expectations with highly available, fault-tolerant PKI and encryption services that are leveraged by almost every Apple product including Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, Vision, AirPods, TV & Home, Entertainment, Accessories as well as our corporate systems and retail stores.

Description

Crypto Services’ PKI Engineers partner with engineers across the company who build secure, end-to-end solutions to provide digital certificate solutions.
Thanks to Apple’s outstanding integration of certificate subscribers, relying parties, and PKI, PKI Engineers partner with teams through the company to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep dedication to strengthening Apple’s security posture and privacy policy, core values.
Although certificates are integrated into a larger part of Apple’s business than ever before, we remain small, nimble, and multi-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities within Crypto Services.
We are looking for someone to drive Apple’s ongoing PKI Engineering needs within the Crypto Services’ organization.

• 2+ years of expertise with scripting languages such as Bash or Python

• Ability to use OpenSSL or similar to view certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses

• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills, including team-building, conflict resolution, and management

• Ability to communicate clearly and effectively to partner, influence, and instill confidence with key partners (e.g. PM’s, engineers, auditors)

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of public PKI industry experience (WebTrust and/or ETSI)

• 2+ years Product Management experience

• Working knowledge of root program and CA/B Forum Requirements

• Experience operating within a WebTrust-compliant control environment
