Apple used a hidden job ad to seek out a ‘talented engineer’
A cyber-security reporter unwittingly stumbled upon a hidden job ad from Apple seeking “a talented engineer to develop a critical infrastructure component that is to be a key part of the Apple ecosystem.”
Apple used a hidden job ad to find its next engineer.
That’s according to the BBC, which says the reporter found it while reviewing data being sent from iPhone apps.
It’s unclear how this research led said reporter to the hidden page on Apple’s website, but ZDNet Security Editor Zack Whittaker also found it, tweeting a screenshot:

However, Business Insider reports the page is also available at the IP address 17.132.22.30.
