Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. The Safari and WebKit team is responsible for Safari, the world’s fastest web browser. WebKit is also the name of the Open Source iOS and macOS framework that powers Mail, iBooks, and many other applications. As a WebKit Web Compatibility Engineer you will be responsible for expanding WebKit’s support for new web standards features, as well as addressing compatibility and performance issues in Safari and WebKit.
