We are looking for a highly motivated systems software engineer with excellent analytical, problem solving, and communication skills to contribute high quality software to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS. You will design and implement new operating system constructs for intelligent resource management, develop scheduling policies that balance power, performance, and feature latency, and build new APIs for client adoption. You will analyze performance data from large fleets of devices to understand how background work behaves in the real world, and use those insights to guide both our own design decisions and the adoption practices of client teams. Through on-device software development and experimentation, you will push the boundary of what's possible in a highly contested and collaborative operating system.
Strong programming background and technical skills with 2+ years after a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Clear understanding of operating system components and responsibilities
Familiarity with statistics and data analysis to derive meaningful insights from large datasets
Outstanding communication and presentation skills, with a collaborative working style.
Track record of leading software projects from inception through delivery, working across teams and stakeholders.
M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with strong Systems understanding and intuition
Working knowledge of operating systems internals, including memory management, resource contention, thread and process lifecycles, and file systems.
Experience identifying and driving Power & Performance optimizations
Familiarity with C/C++ or Objective-C or Swift, and Python for data analysis.
Experience influencing adoption of platform APIs or OS-level policy across client teams.
