Job description

You make private computing feel at home on the Apple devices people already use. We are Apple-minded about craft, and on these platforms the difference between a native experience and a wrapped one is obvious to every user within about ten seconds.

The work

Develop macOS and iOS components using supported platform capabilities. Integrate protected storage, authentication, accessibility and local model execution where suitable. Design around actual background-execution and permission limits, and maintain a tested platform capability matrix.

What good looks like

In your first 90 days, deliver a native path from setup to a useful local or explicitly delegated task, including clear failure and recovery states.

Evidence we look for

Bring strong Apple-platform engineering and product craftsmanship. Experience with Swift, native frameworks or low-level macOS systems is relevant to the assigned scope.

Required

• Strong Apple-platform engineering with shipped work behind it
• Swift and native frameworks, or low-level macOS systems, depending on scope
• Product craftsmanship: you notice and fix the details nobody filed a bug for
• You build with the platform's conventions rather than against them

Nice to have

• System extensions, XPC, or endpoint security frameworks
• Core ML or on-device inference
• visionOS or watchOS

The exercise

Explain how a phone should present an ongoing task when its operating system suspends the app that started it.

How we work

We work together in the office, five days a week, and you can be based at any of our garages: Kirkland Garage (Kirkland, WA); UAE Garage (Dubai, Dubai). We hire across the United States, India and the UAE. We are remote-friendly around family: if you need to work from home some days to look after the people you love, we arrange that with you one person at a time, and we encourage people to use it rather than tough it out.

Pay

We publish what we pay. Indicative ranges by market and level are on our compensation page, and they are realistic going market rates rather than headline numbers. Wherever we hire we pay at least the local market rate, and for full-time roles our floor is a living wage, never the statutory minimum. Compensation is reviewed every year and on promotion.

Equity

Every full-time teammate gets stock options. Four-year vesting with a one-year cliff, sized to role, level and impact, and confirmed in writing at offer. High performers earn refresh grants.

Bonus and commission

An annual performance bonus tied to clear company and personal goals, indicatively 10 to 20 percent of base for non-sales roles. Customer-facing roles carry on-target earnings, typically a 50/50 split of base and variable, with uncapped commission and accelerators above quota.

Health and peace of mind

Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover. We have chosen the highest plan tier available to us rather than the cheapest one that clears the bar, because the point of this is that you never have to think about it. The specific plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.

401(k) with company matching

A 401(k) with a company match, so the years you spend here compound into something that is yours whatever happens next. The match formula is confirmed in your offer letter.

AI tokens

A budget of AI tokens of your own, because a company that says you should own your AI cannot be the company that rations it. Use them on the work and on whatever you are curious about.

Gym, and the everyday things

A gym membership, and a corporate benefits programme with its own app, where you redeem real discounts with a long list of retailers on the ordinary purchases of a life.

Family

We are remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time, and we would rather you took it than toughed it out.

Referrals

Refer someone we hire full-time who stays a year and you get $1,000 plus $10,000 in referral stock-based equity, on top of your own package.
