OS Build QE

2 days ago San Diego, CA

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something.

The SWE QA team is seeking an OS Build Quality Engineer. We are responsible for the quality and stability of our daily builds of iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS with a special focus on upcoming products. We're looking for organized, critical thinkers who would like to play a key role in driving the testing and coordination of quality efforts across software engineering. As a member of our fast-paced group, you will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape and improve the software that allows our products to delight and inspire millions of Apple's customers every day.

Description

We are looking for a self-motivated individual with strong technical and communication skills, and a deep interest in Software Quality. You will be responsible for functional testing (manual and automated) of first-party applications on iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. You will design and implement test plans, test cases, risk analysis, and integration testing across Apple platforms. You will need to identify, escalate, and communicate key build quality issues, and work towards resolutions on the critical issues affecting the build quality. Other responsibilities include end-to-end testing of small and large scale software features across multiple platforms, designing and reviewing tests and coverage plans in alignment with different QA teams.
