Swift Server Networking Intern, London, ASE

Job Description:

We're looking for a driven but adaptable software engineering intern to work on building server-side networking capabilities for the Swift language. You will contribute to the continuing evolution of the server-side Swift ecosystem, which is used in numerous projects both inside Apple and beyond. As part of Apple Services Engineering, our team is responsible for building libraries and frameworks which form the foundations of mission-critical systems at Apple. We write software in the Swift programming language and specialise in networking protocols, with an emphasis on privacy. Much of the software we produce is published as open source (such as SwiftNIO, and SwiftCrypto), as we firmly believe in growing a strong community. This, combined with our recently expanded remit and drive to create amazing products, makes the team a truly exciting place to work. We're a collection of highly skilled and friendly engineers who value each other's opinions and experience. We strive for excellence and believe strongly in the quality of our output. We have built a team of domain experts who specialise in specific core subject areas, and also have broad experience of cloud software services and platforms.
The Swift Server Networking team has an opening for an intern to work with us in our London office. The length of the internship is relatively flexible, but three to six months is preferred. You will collaborate with the team to grow the Swift on server ecosystem, adding new features as well as maintaining existing software. The team focuses primarily on high-performance networking protocol implementations and associated security primitives. There is a strong focus on quality and performance, where an understanding of algorithms and memory usage patterns is beneficial.
Experience of Swift or a similar language (C++, Java, C#, etc.). An interest in computer networking, cryptography, or high-performance server-side development.
Currently attending a Bachelor's, Masters, or PhD Degree in Computer Science or related field
