Software Engineer, Test Platform Intelligence
The Test Platform team at Apple is on a mission to provide innovative infrastructure and tools that execute billions of tests for internal engineering teams across Apple. We're excited to expand the remit of our team and add new intelligent capabilities in the areas of dynamic test scheduling and orchestration.
We are looking for an exceptional software engineer to bring their knowledge and real-world experience in areas like intelligent systems, test execution optimization, resource scheduling, cloud services, and build/test/integration systems to build solutions that will directly improve the quality and velocity of developing software across Apple.
We believe that every engineer brings unique skills and perspective. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for engineers who want to build great reliable software and services, learn and develop their skills, and ultimately enable others to develop amazing applications. You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology, and have fun while doing so.
Description
Our team owns critical tools and services used by the internal Apple Engineering community every day to execute tests at scale in the cloud, with a North Star of greatly improving engineering velocity and productivity. You'll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established techniques related to large-scale test execution, applying intelligence to how testing resources are allocated and consumed at scale - from intelligent test selection, to optimizing device utilization across testing workloads. You'll work alongside our team to ensure Apple's engineering teams can get faster, more reliable feedback on their changes, enabling them to develop amazing applications and deliver the highest quality software.
