Senior Software Engineer UI and Performance

Our 3D Graphics Team is looking for a Senior UI Engineer with a balanced focus on system and UI performance to join our this role you will dive deep into our system architecture and user interface systems establish performance baselines solve complex performance issues and build the mechanisms which prevent regressions before they happen.

As a hands-on and collaborative performance engineer on our team you will be equally focused on identifying diagnosing and resolving complex performance issues across our applications systems and user-interface layers. A major part of your goals will also involve designing and implementing a comprehensive automated power and performance regression testing strategy targeting critical metrics like frame rate latency memory power efficiency and overall system responsiveness across all this role you will partner with other performance and client engineers cross-functionally providing the critical data and insights that guide our engineering teams to craft efficient responsive and visually appealing experiences.

Analyze identify and resolve intricate performance challenges within the Maps client particularly focusing on UI-specific issues. nCollaborate with UI engineering teams to explore product architecture pinpoint bottlenecks and propose practical performance performance regressions arising from cross-domain interactions between UI Rendering and System components (e.g. UIKit CoreAnimation Metal etc.).nLead efforts to establish a reliable performance test automation infrastructure thereby fostering confidence in the accuracy and reliability of test outcomes. nDevelop tools that provide clear actionable insights across performance domains fostering confidence within the and share research on the latest trends and best practices to achieve performance objectives across various dimensions including memory CPU GPU power consumption and launch times.

BS in Computer Science or equivalent.n5 years of experience developing performance-critical software with a solid understanding of systems architecture modern UI frameworks and their performance characteristics for mobile applications. nUI development for iOS macOS watchOS or other Native Platforms. nExperience using various profiling tools (e.g. Xcode Instruments Android Studio Profiler VTune or other proprietary tools) to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks affecting the UI CPU GPU memory and system in performance analysis debugging and code optimization techniques to enhance application and user interface ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse team and thrive in fast-paced deadline-driven communication of intricate performance analysis to diverse stakeholders including actionable recommendations.

Experience optimizing performance across various domains on multiple platforms (e.g. iOS Android or Desktop).nKnowledge of power management and battery-life analysis with Mac or iOS application development using Swift/Swift-UI or with Metal or modern graphics APIs (DirectX Vulkan).
