The Department: Platform Security
The Platform Security team secures Gemini's infrastructure through service hardening and by developing and supporting a suite of foundational tools. We provide secure-by-default infrastructure, consumable security services, and expert consultation to engineering teams for secure cloud and non-cloud infrastructure.
The Role: Staff Enterprise Security Engineer (Client Platform)
The Platform Security team builds and delivers security foundations and paved paths for Gemini's corporate endpoints and workforce.

You'll design and build endpoint security platforms that scale across our organization. This role requires deep technical expertise in macOS security internals, strong software development skills to build production services, and systems engineering experience with MDM and configuration management. You will partner closely with IT, Engineering, and GRC teams to enable secure device management while maintaining least-privilege access and zero-standing-privilege models for endpoints.

- Develop automated security monitoring, scanning, and remediation services for endpoint events
- Build CI/CD pipelines for security software deployment and configuration-as-code validation
- Implement and manage MDM platforms (Jamf, Fleet) and configuration management systems (Salt, Munki)
- Architect binary authorization, DNS filtering, and application control solutions at scale
- Partner with Engineering, IT, and GRC teams on architecture decisions and provide security consultation
- Participate in on-call rotation for critical security incidents and endpoint security issues
Minimum Qualifications:
- Strong software development skills in Go, Python, Swift, or Objective-C with experience building production services

- Proven experience with MDM platforms such as Jamf Pro or Fleet, including policy management and deployment at scale
- Strong configuration management experience with Salt, Puppet, or similar tools
- Experience with software packaging and deployment systems like Munki or AutoPkg
- Knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS) and container orchestration (Kubernetes)
- Demonstrated ability to build, deploy, and maintain security tools and services in production
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or similar tools
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience building binary authorization systems such as Santa, Upvote, or Windows Defender Application Control
- Development of macOS system extensions or network extensions using Swift or Objective-C
- Experience with DNS filtering or network security tool development
- Background in incident response for macOS endpoint compromises
- Experience with osquery, Fleet, or similar endpoint visibility platforms
- Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) as they relate to endpoint security
- Experience with container security scanning and supply chain security
- Contributions to security tooling projects or client platform management communities
