In this role, you have the opportunity to push the state of the art of JavaScript and WebAssembly performance. The JavaScriptCore team at Apple is looking for system programmers with compiler (especially just-in-time) and virtual machine experience. You will be working to deliver a faster and more secure web for all Apple products by improving JavaScriptCore's already world-class JIT compilers, runtime systems, and the garbage collector. The work is challenging, and the impact is worldwide. Join us.
The JavaScriptCore team in WebKit is responsible for the JavaScriptCore engine, and our mission is to make JavaScript and WebAssembly execution both fast and secure. JavaScriptCore engineers work on all aspects of the engine: the compilation pipeline, the language runtime, the garbage collector, and the API for native apps. The compilation pipeline consists of the parser, the bytecode frontend, profile-guided type profiling, and multiple optimizing compiler backend that turn JS and Wasm programs into efficient ARM and x86 machine code.\n\nIn this role, you will work across all areas of the engine, improving the performance, security, and stability of the engine, as well as compatibility with other browsers.
