Overview
Apple is seeking a Security Researcher (Penetration Tester) to tackle emerging cyber threats within its critical ERP environment. You'll conduct advanced offensive security testing and vulnerability research, focusing on SAP systems and applications. This role requires a strong offensive security mindset and proficiency in various programming languages.
Job Description
Who you are
You have a strong offensive security mindset and a passion for ethical hacking — your curiosity drives you to find vulnerabilities in complex enterprise systems. You possess experience in penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, particularly within hybrid environments. Your proficiency in macOS and Unix-based systems allows you to navigate and secure diverse infrastructures effectively. You are eager to learn and understand the SAP ecosystem, even if you do not have prior expertise in it. Your skills in programming languages such as ABAP and Java are significant assets that enhance your ability to conduct thorough security assessments.
Desirable
A background in security research or ethical hacking is a plus, as is familiarity with cloud-native systems and integrated environments. You are comfortable with manual penetration testing of custom applications and web interfaces, and you have a strong interest in developing custom scripts and tools for security tasks. Your ability to conduct deep-dive source code reviews will help identify security flaws and architectural weaknesses in sophisticated applications.
What you'll do
In this role, you will conduct advanced offensive security testing across Apple’s hybrid SAP landscape, focusing on manual penetration testing of custom ABAP and Java applications, SAP Fiori apps, web applications, APIs, and mobile interfaces. You will perform vulnerability research and testing within SAP S/4HANA, ECC, BTP services, and other integrated cloud-native systems. Your responsibilities will include security assessments of the underlying infrastructure and cloud environments supporting SAP, ensuring that security measures are robust and effective.
You will apply cutting-edge offensive security techniques and code analysis to generate meaningful data that drives the evolution of secure development standards. Your work will play a pivotal role in safeguarding Apple’s critical ERP environment, which underpins the company’s supply chain, treasury, and customer experiences. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to shift security left, identifying vulnerabilities early and often within the development lifecycle.
What we offer

You will be part of a dynamic team that values innovation and collaboration, providing you with the chance to grow your skills and advance your career in cybersecurity.
