• Develop and maintain custom toolchains on macOS and Windows, integrate them with environments such as Xcode and VS Code, and advance cross-compilation capabilities for new and existing platforms.

Requirements

• Five or more years of experience working with language compilers and large codebases such as LLVM, ideally with prior exposure to Swift or C++.
• Familiarity with at least one of the operating systems we support-Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS-along with a strong interest in build systems and tooling that improve developer workflows.
• Pragmatic problem-solving skills suited to a startup setting with rapid validation cycles, plus at least four hours of overlap with our Eastern Time Zone team members.
• Alignment with our company values and a genuine enthusiasm for open-source collaboration.
