Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a Mac Platform Engineer to lead a critical Apple Silicon (ARM64) porting and optimization effort for a high-performance Mac application. This role is focused on making the application fully native on Apple Silicon while ensuring stability, performance, and compatibility across the rendering and systems stack.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys deep technical problem solving, low-level debugging, and working across graphics, build systems, and platform-specific challenges.

Primary Responsibilities

• Port Mac client to Apple Silicon (ARM64) and deliver a native universal binary build
• Upgrade and validate third-party dependencies across the codebase
• Port SIMD-optimized code paths from SSE/x86 to ARM NEON
• Upgrade and troubleshoot MoltenVK and resolve rendering/shader compatibility issues
• Debug and fix compile-time, runtime, and linking issues across the system
• Update and maintain macOS crash reporting tools for Apple Silicon compatibility
• Diagnose and resolve low-level performance and stability issues
• Identify and implement platform-level optimizations

Some Must-Haves:

• 3+ years of professional C/C++ development experience
• Strong experience with macOS development (Xcode, universal binaries)
• Experience with cross-platform builds and platform-specific porting
• Familiarity with SIMD programming (SSE and/or ARM NEON)
• Understanding of Vulkan, Metal, or MoltenVK
• Experience debugging graphics, rendering, or shader issues
• Strong ability to resolve build, linking, and runtime issues in complex systems
• Self-driven and comfortable working independently on ambiguous technical problems

Nice To Have:

• Prior experience with Apple Silicon migration projects
• Experience working on game engines or real-time rendering systems
• Familiarity with macOS crash reporting systems
