The Spotlight UI team believes that the moment someone reaches for search, they deserve something that feels instant, intelligent, effortless, and personal. We craft the experience that sits between a person and everything on their device — through deep system integration, fluid presentations, and rich interactive previews. We ship to billions of devices.
Our codebase spans Swift and Objective-C across multiple platforms, requiring engineers who can navigate both languages fluently and work effectively across the full stack — from UI presentation to system-level integration.
We are looking for an experienced engineer who brings craft and rigor in equal measure. Someone who takes ownership of hard problems and communicates clearly with technical and non-technical partners alike. You will help translate between engineering constraints and product goals. You will help set the technical direction for the team.

Successfully synthesized analysis of complex, multi-platform problems
SwiftUI interop with UIKit and AppKit

Incremental migration of large Objective-C codebases to Swift
Swift concurrency in production (async/await, actors, Sendable)
Performance analysis with Instruments
IPC mechanisms
