About the roleNamespace's approach is low-friction, designed for immediate integration into existing developer toolchains, empowering teams to experience tangible results within just five minutes. With an end-to-end stack optimized for high performance-including compute, memory, storage, and networking-Namespace delivers capabilities and efficiencies unmatched by traditional cloud providers.
Namespace provides high-performance, ephemeral compute environments across Linux, Windows, and macOS. Our macOS platform runs on native Apple Silicon and is designed to power demanding developer workflows like Xcode builds, iOS CI, and graphics workloads.
In this role, you'll be responsible for the core virtualization layer powering our macOS platform. You'll work across virtualization, scheduling, storage, and infrastructure to build fast, reliable, and scalable Apple Silicon environments. From VM lifecycle management and image pipelines to fleet scheduling and performance optimization, you'll help push the limits of what's possible with macOS virtualization in the cloud.
This is a high-impact role: you'll own critical platform components that enable developers to spin up isolated macOS environments in seconds and run demanding Apple ecosystem workloads at scale.
What you'll do:- Build a great macOS virtualization platform - pushing Apple's Virtualization.framework to its limits on performance, cold-start times, and density
- Own the Mac-specific layer end to end: VM lifecycle, host integration, and the storage and image pipeline for fast cloning and snapshotting
- Draw on hands-on virtualization experience (Virtualization.framework, KVM, QEMU, or similar) to solve problems that don't have documented answers
- Integrate with and extend our fleet scheduler to place an ever growing number of of VMs across the Apple Silicon fleet
You can expect:- Competitive salary and stock options
- Flexible working hours
- Market-leading parental leave
Life at Namespace Labs:- We pride ourselves in being a small team of experts that can achieve a lot.
- We balance our long-term vision with short-term pragmatism.
- We believe in being fully transparent internally on how decisions are made, on how the company is doing, and we use that information to drive our decisions.
