Rivac LabsmacOS Spatial/Metal Engineer
Spatial computing at native performance runs through Metal, not a web renderer or a cross-platform abstraction layer, and getting a real-time 3D scene to hold frame rate on Apple hardware while doing serious rendering work is a genuinely specialized skill. This service builds the native Swift and Metal code underneath spatial-computing features that need to move fast — custom shaders, GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines, real-time 3D scenes that can't afford the overhead of a generic engine. It's for teams whose spatial or 3D feature is too performance-critical for off-the-shelf tooling, or who've hit a ceiling with a cross-platform framework and need someone who can go straight to Metal. You get production Swift/Metal code integrated into your app, not a proof-of-concept that falls apart under a real workload.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Diagnose the performance bottleneck or capability gap the current rendering stack can't clear
- 2
Build a Metal-based prototype of the critical rendering path to prove the target frame rate is achievable
- 3
Profile and review the prototype against real device hardware and your actual scene complexity
- 4
Harden the pipeline into production Swift/Metal code and integrate it into the shipping app
