Description

Apple’s static program analysis tools help millions of developers inside and outside of Apple find, fix, and prevent security and stability bugs. We are looking for a senior engineer with a strong background in compilers or static analysis tools to help develop tools to prevent classes of errors, support the adoption of safe programming models, and find bugs. This role will involve developing program analyses to prevent classes of errors and automate the adoption of safe programming models, collaborating with and mentoring engineers, and partnering with operating system and security teams to improve the security and reliability of software in the Apple ecosystem. We value creativity, communication skills, and integrity, and aspire to build diverse, balanced and dynamic teams.

This team collaborates closely with operating systems and security engineers to improve the security and stability of C, C++, Objective-C, and Swift codebases in Apple’s platform and ecosystem. The team actively participates in the Clang/LLVM open source community and memory safety-related language standards efforts. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Experience developing compiler or static analysis tools (such as with compiler frontends, refactoring tools, software verification tools). Excellent software engineering, testing, and debugging ability. Proficiency in C++ development. Interest in systems-level programming and security. Strong communication and organizational skills. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience with static analysis techniques (data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, or symbolic execution) is a plus. Experience leading the technical development of large features and collaborating across organizational boundaries.
