What are MacOS Engineers?
What are the main challenges MacOS Engineers face when ensuring application compatibility across different Mac devices and OS versions?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a MacOS Engineer, and why are they important?
What is the difference between Macos Engineer vs iOS Developer?
| Aspect | Macos Engineer | iOS Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Computer Science, experience with macOS development | Bachelor's in Computer Science, experience with iOS app development |
| Work Environment | Develops macOS applications, often in desktop environments | Creates iOS apps for iPhone and iPad devices |
| Industry Usage | Tech companies, software firms focusing on desktop apps | Mobile app companies, startups, and tech firms |
While both roles involve Apple ecosystem development, Macos Engineers focus on desktop applications for macOS, whereas iOS Developers specialize in mobile apps for iPhone and iPad. Both require similar technical skills but target different platforms within the Apple environment.

Job description
About the Role:
You'll be joining our MacOS Sensor Foundation team supporting CrowdStrike's flagship Falcon endpoint protection platform. This team is responsible for core sensor components in user space (C++, Swift). We build and maintain the MacOS sensor, creating and/or building a platform for products and features that empower customers with prevention, detection, and response capabilities.
Location:
- This role is hybrid, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site at one of the posted locations.
What You'll Do:
CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor": a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint, and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and blocks malicious activity.
The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers' operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.
This is an Engineer 3 - macOS Engineer role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on macOS. Engineers in the team own design and development of core features on the platform. Features will cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking. Many features are also built in a way that they will have shared components across Windows and Linux.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop software for deployment on macOS systems
- Own features from design to delivery
- Collaborate with multi-functional team in various physical locations
- Troubleshoot issues with the product as reported from customers responsively
- Other projects as assigned
What You'll Need
- Can develop high-quality code in C/C++ and Swift, and can demonstrate that capability, through job experience, schoolwork, or contributions to community projects
- Experience on macOS developing product code with the following characteristics:
- high concurrency requirements needing strong use of multi-threading high reliability requirements
- detailed requirements on low-level operating characteristics (memory usage, efficient performance, correct conformance to external standards)
- Experience working on a team to ship major features and releases
- Able to communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Bonus Points:
- Prior experience working on Endpoint products, Cyber Security space, or networking technologies (e.g., network security, network protocols, or network infrastructure)
