Description
WebKit is the open source browser engine that powers Safari, Mail, and many other applications across iOS, macOS, and visionOS. The WebKit Accessibility team is responsible for making WebKit fully accessible, ensuring users with disabilities have exceptional, seamless access to content across Apples platforms. At Apple we believe that technology is most powerful when it empowers everyone. Our team is seeking a Software Engineer to improve and enhance the accessibility of Apple products for all users, regardless of their abilities. The ideal candidate will be a motivated software engineer, eager to learn and contribute meaningfully to the lives of our users.
Youll work primarily on the open-source WebKit codebase, improving the core accessibility support and integrating it with evolving accessibility APIs on Apples platforms. Typical tasks might include implementing new ARIA specifications, or improving performance when a VoiceOver user loads a large web page.
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem will be to debug it across the whole platform. We need someone who wont be afraid to dive into system frameworks, VoiceOver code, web frameworks, or anywhere else in order to find the root cause and deliver the best user experience.Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or equivalent 3+ years of relevant work experience Proficient in C++ or another a low-level systems language Excellent written and verbal communication skillsExperience with web technology, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Experience with accessibility and assistive technologies Experience with Objective-C and/or Swift Experience with open-source software development Excitement to build software that makes a tangible difference in people's lives
