Xcode Debugging Experience Engineer

The Xcode Debugger UI team builds tools and experiences that help developers validate and demystify the behavior of their code as they work through the cycle of editing, building, running and debugging software. These tools and experiences are used by the community of developers inside and outside Apple to create best-in-class software that constitute Operating Systems, Platforms, Application Software, and Services. As the saying goes, “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place”. We are looking for a motivated engineer to expand and refine Xcode’s debugging experience so that developers can be more productive when creating software, while resolving every class of bug one might encounter, including issues with crashes, UI layout, concurrency, memory safety, performance, and efficiency. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for engineers who want to build great software, learn and develop their skills, and ultimately enable others to do the same.

In this position, you will work on the core components of the Xcode debugging experience. Your work will have an impact on the tools and workflows used by developers every day to launch, debug, test, and analyze the software that they build for Apple platforms. You will have the opportunity to shape Xcode’s deep integration throughout the software stack, all the way from low level infrastructure such as connectivity to devices and simulators, all the way to the higher level components such as the user interface and art work that developers directly interact with on a daily basis. This role comes with opportunity and responsibility to be a strong advocate for our customers and developers.

• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• Proficiency in Objective C, Swift and C/C++ development
• Strong background in the fundamentals of desktop and mobile operating systems
• Aptitude and passion for designing intuitive workflows in developer tools
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Positive and respectful attitude in a diverse environment

• Familiarity with iOS and macOS app development is a strong plus
• If possible, we’d love to see an example of your relevant work, such as a personal project or open source contribution
