The Swift Compiler Team at Apple is seeking a passionate software engineer to enhance the Swift programming language and its associated developer tools. This role involves collaborating with a fast-paced team to design and implement new language features while improving the overall developer experience. Candidates should be creative, self-motivated, and eager to learn, as they will engage with both internal teams and the open-source Swift community. The position offers the opportunity to influence design decisions and contribute to the evolution of programming patterns within the Swift ecosystem.

• Demonstrated ability to communicate through technical writing.
• Curiosity for understanding a programming mental model and how code works under the hood.
• Experience with software design and programming in a statically-typed language such as C++ or Swift.
• Familiarity with algorithms and data structures.
• Ability and motivation to investigate and learn what you don't know.
• Receptiveness to constructive feedback and mentorship.

• Prior experience working on compilers or developer tools is a plus, but not required.

• Collaborate with teammates through in-person conversations, pull requests, and other online discussions.
• Collaborate with open source contributors through pull requests and the Swift Forums.
• Design and implement new language features and tooling improvements, documenting and iterating on your design decisions through the Swift evolution process.
• Welcome constructive feedback on your changes from Swift programmers and iteratively improve the experience of writing Swift.
