Debugging matters — developers spend more time in the debugger than they spend writing new code. Apple's debugger/compiler integration team is looking for individuals who are passionate about improving the debugging experience. This involves work LLVM, the Clang and Swift compiler frontends, the LLDB debugger, and related tools. You will closely collaborate with the Swift and LLVM open source projects.
Description
Our team works at the intersection of compiler and debugger technology: we are responsible for the debugging experience — from generating debug information in our compilers (Clang, Swift, LLVM) all the way to the language plugins in the LLDB debugger. LLDB's unique strength is its powerful expression evaluator that is backed by the actual compiler to JIT expressions typed by the developer into the debugged process and execute them. This flexibility allows LLDB to be used even in contexts outside of traditional debugging: For example, it is also the technology powering the Swift REPL.
Minimum Qualifications
Experience in developing software tools (for example: compilers, debuggers, language runtimes, profilers or binary translation tools)
Excellent software engineering, testing, and debugging skills
Preferred Qualifications
Strong C++ expertise
Experience with serialization formats such as Clang and Swift modules
Experience with LLVM, Clang, and LLDB development
Experience working with debug info formats like DWARF
Experience with contributing to Open Source projects
