OS Performance Tools Engineer

The OS Performance Tools team is looking for a passionate and versatile engineer to help Apple engineers and 3rd party developers understand and improve the performance of code running across Apples platforms (macOS iOS watchOS tvOS visionOS). The team builds software that Apple engineers and 3rd party developers use to understand u0026 analyze performance of their code enabling them to ship delightful experiences to Apple role will initially focus on performance triage and analysis with a strong emphasis on leveraging AI to scale the teams impact: automating the repetitive parts of investigation gleaning deeper insights from diagnostics and telemetry and connecting related issues surfaced across different systems and pipelines. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn broadly across the stack and apply that breadth to make our tools and the engineers who depend on them dramatically more effective.n

In this role you will spend your time at the intersection of data systems knowledge and software engineering. Some days that means diving into performance diagnostics to understand why a user interaction felt slow tracing the problem through layers of the system and surfacing a finding that helps another team ship a fix. Other days it means stepping back to ask how that same investigation could be faster more automated or more insightful at scale and then building the tooling or AI-assisted workflow to make it so. You will work closely with engineers across many disciplines systems graphics data and more learning how Apples platforms work end to end and translating that knowledge into tools that make the broader organization more effective. The role rewards curiosity systems thinking and a bias toward
