Today at WWDC we introduced a new static linker. It is a ground-up rewrite that’s up to 5x faster than ld64. The new linker is written with multicore in mind, and it’s the first production ready parallel linker officially supported for iOS development. (1/n)

I’m hiring for a growing Apple software security team. We collaborate hands-on with teams across the OS, working directly on their codebases to improve security. I’m looking for OS engineers with a range of experience and security familiarity. jobs.apple.com/en-us/search?… 🧵
Many of us started our careers with a focus outside security. We discovered how important and rewarding it is to secure our user’s devices, learned from some of the most collaborative and talented security engineers in the industry, and shipped massive security improvements.
If you’re a low-level software engineer who wants to help take software security to the next level, I would love to talk to you about joining our team: jobs.apple.com/en-us/search?…
