  • Proficiency in using profiling tools such as Xcode Instruments and Android Studio Profiler.
  • Knowledge of power management and battery-life analysis techniques.
  • Experience with Mac or iOS application development using Swift/Swift-UI or Objective-C.
  • Experience with Metal or modern graphics APIs like DirectX and Vulkan.

Responsibilities

  • Dive deep into system architecture and user interface systems.
  • Establish performance baselines and solve complex performance issues.
  • Build mechanisms to prevent performance regressions.
  • Design and implement a comprehensive automated testing strategy for power and performance.
  • Collaborate with performance and client engineers to provide critical data and insights.
  • Communicate intricate performance analysis and actionable recommendations to stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
