The Swift Compiler Team is a unique opportunity to evolve the Swift programming language and related developer tools that shape the experience of writing Swift code. We are looking for a software engineering manager passionate about programming languages, compilers, and the developer experience. We are a fast paced and collaborative group working to improve the Swift language and compiler, and the compiler technology that provides Swift language support to IDEs and editors.
As a member of the Swift compiler team, you will act as both a manager and an engineer to collaboratively improve the Swift language, improve compile-time performance, and enhance the Swift developer experience through diagnostics and other compiler-driven tools. 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, 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, adoption of Swift in new domains, and community building/outreach across the Swift ecosystem.
- As an engineer, you will design and implement new language features and tooling improvements. You will see your work through all stages of development, from the initial design all the way through to the testing, integration, and adoption of your changes into the development ecosystem. You’ll join energetic discussions on your collaborators’ work and ideas, both within the team and through the open source Swift project.
- As a manager, you will foster the growth, productivity, and well-being of your team—some more experienced and some less experienced than you—through the highs and lows of the development process. You will be responsible for project planning, inter-team coordination, navigating the open source project, and the ultimate delivery of your team’s engineering work. You’ll take an active role in hiring to help grow a world-class and diverse Swift team. To be effective, you’ll need to forge and maintain strong relationships with numerous partner teams and the open source community.
