[OpenNash Jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/) / [Apple](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/) / Profiling Tools Engineer (Xcode Instruments) - Developer Experience

## Job description

The Profiling Tools team is looking for engineers with a passion for optimization to lead new capabilities end-to-end: what gets built, how it works, and what ships to millions of developers across iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Core responsibilities include improving runtime data collection, analysis, and visualization in Apple's Developer Tools ecosystem. Apple's Developer Tools group provides the foundation that developers worldwide rely on to design, write, build, debug, profile, and deploy software.

It's a uniquely rewarding area – where engineers own not just the implementation, but the direction – and where the people using what you build are other developers, turning ambitious ideas into shipped products. The Profiling Tools team primarily focuses on the debugging and profiling aspects of the development process, using runtime analysis techniques to instrument and introspect software to understand and improve it.

The team is responsible for tools such as Instruments, xctrace, and on-device components performing low-level data capture. Tools for analyzing app behavior, improving responsiveness, and minimizing power/memory consumption are critical to making great user experiences across Apple's platforms.
