Apple's Compositing, Color, and Display Software organization needs to enable developers and HI designers to create exceptional visual experiences by efficiently utilizing hardware acceleration and color technologies through compositing and display. The technologies developed are central to enabling enhanced experiences across platforms, including acceleration for Liquid Glass UI material and presenting HDR content with the highest quality.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with Metal and modern graphics APIs
- Knowledge of advanced rendering techniques (physically-based rendering, real-time effects, compositing algorithms)
- Experience with Mac or iOS application development using Swift or Objective-C
- Familiarity with color management, HDR, and wide color gamut workflows
- Knowledge of visual quality assessment and rendering correctness validation
- Understanding of performance optimization and power efficiency considerations for graphics
- Hands-on experience with real-time rendering and computer graphics
Responsibilities
- Lead and mentor the UI Rendering team to deliver world-class graphics compositing and rendering technologies across all Apple platforms
- Drive the architecture, design, and implementation of Core Animation UI rendering features and compositing technologies
- Partner with HI designers and framework teams to enable new visual experiences and design language evolution
- Collaborate with Metal graphics framework and GPU and Display teams to leverage and influence platform capabilities for rendering innovation
- Make critical technical decisions balancing visual quality, implementation complexity, and platform constraints
- Manage the development of tools and workflows that enable rapid iteration from design concept to production-ready rendering features
- Ensure rendering quality, correctness, and visual fidelity across diverse content and platform configurations
Other
- 10+ years of experience working in or leading software development, including software release management and integration processes
- Proven track record managing high-performing technical teams with deep expertise, driving outcomes through pro-active management across large cross-functional initiatives
- Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional teams (e.g., design and product teams) to translate vision and specifications into technical implementation
- Demonstrated ability defining, planning and executing complex large-scale projects involving multiple teams
- Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent in Computer Science or related field
