Description

Apple has long held a deep conviction that great design and beautiful typography are inseparable from great technology. The Type Engineering team sits at the heart of that conviction — building the foundational frameworks that bring expressive, world-class type to every Apple device, in nearly every script and language on Earth, and we’re not done. If you believe that how human language is rendered is as important as any other part of the software stack, we want to hear from you. DESCRIPTION As a Frameworks Engineer on the Type engineering team, you will work across a rich set of technologies that reach from low-level system daemons to user-facing applications. Our team owns the systems responsible for font registration, delivery, and lifecycle management on all Apple OS platforms. We also develop the font management UI, and the majority of font and text formatting UI components available on all Apple platforms. All of these are enabled by our powerful set of APIs used by thousands of app developers. Your work will cover multiple layers of the system: designing and implementing XPC services and system daemons, refining and extending our APIs, and contributing to user-facing font management experiences. You will collaborate closely with engineers across Graphics, AppKit, UIKit, SwiftUI, and design teams to ensure that font technologies work seamlessly, efficiently, and beautifully across all of Apple's platforms. Whether you're developing a new feature, refining the UI, or designing an API that empowers font providers to delight their users, you will be contributing to technologies that touch every app, every document, and every letter users see on an Apple device. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Solid fundamentals in one or more of C++, Objective-C, or Swift Understanding of software design principles and systems programming concepts Ability to collaborate effectively across teams and communicate technical ideas clearly Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience with text, font, or vector graphics technologies (e.g., Core Text, Core Graphics, SVG, PDF, OpenType, TrueType) Familiarity with XPC, inter-process communication, or system daemon development on Apple platforms Experience building frameworks or APIs intended for broad adoption Experience with SwiftUI, UIKit, or AppKit A genuine passion for typography, design, and the intersection of technology and craft

Responsibilities

You will design and implement system daemons and XPC services for font registration, delivery, and lifecycle management across Apple platforms. Additionally, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop font management UI and text formatting components.
