o Debugging with LLDB, crash logs and os_log.
o XCTest, sanitizers, fuzzing, and xcodebuild-based CI.
o Apple Silicon and Intel.
- Experience with codebases shared across Mac, Windows and Linux.
Core skills (one or more of the areas listed below)
- Process model and IPC: launchd daemons and agents, and XPC (C API and NSXPCConnection).
- Endpoint Security and System Extensions: Endpoint Security clients handling both blocking (AUTH) events and notification events, user/MDM approval, upgrades.
- Network Extension: content filters, both flow-level (NEFilterDataProvider) and packet-level (NEFilterPacketProvider), and Network.framework.
- Security and crypto: Verifying code signatures (SecCode / SecStaticCode) and validating certificates (SecTrust), Keychain, Entitlements, hardened runtime, and macOS privacy permissions.
- Devices and storage: IOKit (hardware and device enumeration) and DiskArbitration (disk and volume events).
- Packaging and deployment: installers, notarization, and MDM configuration profiles deployed through Jamf, Intune or similar tools.
- Performance, debugging and test: Profiling CPU and memory with Instruments and os_signpost, Debugging with LLDB, crash logs and os_log, XCTest, sanitizers, fuzzing, and xcodebuild-based CI.
