About
This role will involve developing features, collaborating with other engineers, and partnering with compiler, IDE, and platform teams to improve the developer experience for both internal and external developers. You'll also have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the vibrant open source Swift community, helping shape the future of Swift development. This role requires a passion for understanding developer workflows and a passion for learning new technologies. We value communication skills, integrity, and creativity, and aspire to build diverse, balanced and dynamic teams.
Description
In this role your primary responsibility will be to work on deeply technical problems in build system architecture, performance, and reliability for both at-desk workflows as well as large-scale operating system CI/CD builds. You'll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established distributed system techniques to achieve both high performance and reliability.
You will collaborate closely with the Swift Compiler, Xcode, Clang, Open Source Swift community and platform teams across Apple to improve build times and developer productivity.
You will review user workflows and analyze problem requirements, review existing solutions and available systems, and make high-level workflow and architectural decisions, considering both short- and long-term goals. Once solutions are identified, you will work with your team to implement them while developing appropriate testing and operational mechanisms.
You will be most successful here as a flexible and proactive engineer who thrives in a supportive, respectful, and balanced work environment with interesting and challenging problems to tackle. You have excellent judgment and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions. You know how to drive constructive discussion of design points, learn from your team, and use your experience to advocate and teach others.
