* Design, develop, and maintain security applications and system-level components for macOS and iOS using Swift and Objective-C.

* Build secure networking capabilities including **VPN, traffic tunneling, DNS security, filtering, and network protection** using Apple's NetworkExtension framework.

* Develop capabilities using relevant Apple technologies such as DNS Proxy Provider, Content Filter, System Extensions, and Endpoint Security APIs, where applicable.

* Design secure communication between applications, extensions, backend services, and enterprise infrastructure.

* Implement security capabilities involving authentication, authorization, certificates, cryptography, Keychain, secure credential storage, and device identity.

* Diagnose complex issues involving network connectivity, routing, DNS, application behavior, OS interactions, security controls, performance, and resource utilization.

* Understand and work within Apple's application sandboxing, entitlements, code signing, notarization, privacy, and security models.

* Integrate applications and security configurations with MDM/UEM platforms, including managed applications, VPN configurations, certificates, device policies, and security profiles.

* Design software that is secure, resilient, performant, observable, and maintainable across supported versions of macOS and iOS.

* Perform design and code reviews with particular emphasis on security, reliability, performance, and maintainability.

* Investigate security vulnerabilities and contribute to threat modeling, secure design, vulnerability remediation, and security hardening.

* Collaborate with Product, Security, QA, Backend, SRE, and other engineering teams to deliver production-ready security capabilities.

Required Qualifications

* Strong software development experience on macOS and/or iOS, with proficiency in Swift and Objective-C.

* Strong understanding of Apple platform architecture, application lifecycle, sandboxing, entitlements, code signing, and security models.

* Experience developing applications or system components using Apple security and networking frameworks.

* Strong experience with NetworkExtension and technologies such as DNS Proxy, Content Filter, or related networking extensions.

* Strong understanding of network programming and network security, including TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, TLS/HTTPS, routing, proxies.

* Understanding of authentication, certificates, PKI, encryption, key management, and secure credential storage.

* Experience troubleshooting complex problems across application, operating system, and network layers.

* Experience with MDM/UEM-managed Apple devices, including managed applications, configuration profiles, certificates, VPN configurations, and device security policies.

* Strong knowledge of concurrency, memory management, IPC, multithreading, and performance optimization on Apple platforms.

* Strong debugging skills using tools such as Xcode, LLDB, Instruments, Console, packet captures, and network diagnostic tools.

* Strong understanding of secure software development practices, including threat modeling, secure coding, vulnerability management, and security-focused code reviews.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience developing enterprise security, endpoint security, Zero Trust, VPN, Secure Access, EDR, DLP, or network security products.

* Experience with macOS System Extensions and Endpoint Security framework.

* Experience with Keychain Services, Security framework, CryptoKit, certificate lifecycle management, and PKI.

* Experience building security software operating across **application, network, and operating-system boundaries**.

* Understanding of common security threats, attack techniques, and defensive controls on Apple platforms.

* Experience optimizing CPU, memory, battery, startup time, and network performance for continuously running security applications.

* Experience developing and supporting security products deployed at enterprise scale across large fleets of Apple devices.
