Role Number: 200168962
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish! We are working to take the build and test process of the low-level components of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS to the next level (think kernel and low-level libraries). We don't have all of the answers on how to do that yet, perhaps you do? We are exploring, measuring, and trying new things. We are responsible for validating nearly a quarter of all changes that go into our OS releases and affect 1 billion+ customers, so this isn't just a theoretical exercise. We won't be satisfied with anything less than outstanding.
