Tools and Automation Engineer
The Xcode team provides the tools to develop software for Apple's innovative iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and VisionOS platforms. Because tools are our products, software engineers on the Xcode team have the unique and rewarding opportunity to apply personal experience to enhance and augment the tools they use everyday. The Xcode team is looking for a detail-oriented and focused Quality Engineer with the curiosity to find bugs and the initiative to get them fixed.
This position involves not only ensuring that each of these features work but they also coalesce into a cohesive development environment. This position includes API/Integration testing, manual/LiveOn testing, building test tools, developing automation platforms, and working to continuously improve Xcode and the debugging process.
