Swift Language Engineer
Apply NowCompany: Apple
Location: Cupertino, CA 95014
Description:
Summary
The Swift Language Team at Apple is a unique opportunity to evolve the Swift programming language through language design and compiler implementation. We are a fast-paced and highly-collaborative group working toward improving the safety, expressivity, and approachability of writing code in Swift as well as improving the developer experience and productivity through type checker performance, diagnostics, and other compiler-driven tools for understanding Swift code. Drawing from your own experience writing code, internalizing a programming model, and working with developer tools, you will bring diverse perspectives and a desire to help solve the problems you've encountered in your own development work.
Description
This position requires a highly creative and self-motivated individual, capable of communicating with and giving feedback to others in a range of roles across software engineering at Apple, the open source Swift community, and beyond. You will have the opportunity to affect design decisions not only on the Swift programming language and its developer-facing tools, but also general programming patterns, applications of Swift, and community building/outreach across the Swift ecosystem. Iteration and innovation are key to this role. You should relish change, and be prepared to question commonly established practices, with the desire to create the best possible experience to enrich the lives of programmers, both current and future.
As a Swift language engineer, you will:
* Design and implement new language features, including the diagnostic experience, documenting and iterating on your design decisions through the Swift evolution process.
* Collaborate with teammates through in-person conversations, pull requests, and other online discussions.
* Collaborate with open source contributors through pull requests and the Swift Forums.
* Welcome constructive feedback on your changes from Swift programmers, and iteratively improve the experience of writing Swift.
* Drive the testing, integration, and adoption of your changes into the development ecosystem.
