The CoreAnimation team within GGML is responsible for UI rendering and compositing, orchestrating operations across graphics acceleration units and display pipelines. This role within CoreAnimation is focusing on the development of the UI rendering engine to support the various elements and effects that constitute the foundational blocks on which our higher-level UI frameworks and applications are built on both iOS and macOS. The candidate for this role will be working with our HI teams and higher-level UI frameworks (UIKit, AppKit, SwiftUI) to implement such effects using Metal API for hardware acceleration on GPU and other acceleration engines on Apple Silicon. They will also work on tools and processes around triaging, performance/power optimizations, and improving the quality and robustness of our UI stack.
