Subsequently, you will translate these specifications into tangible results in pixels, geometry, and typography, enabling developers to create visually appealing layouts.

WebKit serves as the rendering engine for web content on Apple platforms.

- Providing constructive feedback on feature design and specification details

- Representing Apple's implementation and viewpoint in standards organizations and with other browser developers

- Converting standards/designs into concrete tests and implementations
Key Qualifications:
- Proficiency in Modern C++ programming.
- Ability to architect code with a focus on correctness, readability, maintainability, and performance.
- Experience in identifying and rectifying bugs within a large codebase.
- Familiarity with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Proven experience in leading projects and mentoring colleagues.
- Interest in typography, graphic design, visual layout, or geometry.

Education & Experience:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent education or work experience.
Additional Requirements:
Engineers can build successful careers on the WebKit team without prior experience in web browsers.

Some skills and interests that may provide an advantageous head start include:
- Experience in projects involving art, graphic design, visual layout, or geometry, whether personal or professional.
- Creating demos and reduced test cases
- Debugging and profiling experience
- Familiarity with UIKit, AppKit, or graphics frameworks.

- Experience working on developer-facing products
- Collaborating with the team to foster good engineering practices and a positive team culture.
Compensation & Benefits:
At Apple, base pay is one component of our comprehensive compensation package and is determined within a range.

This structure allows for progression as you grow and develop within your role.

The base pay range for this position is between $175,800 and $312,200, with your base pay contingent on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

Apple employees also have the opportunity to become shareholders through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs.
