Summary

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.

In this role, you will be working closely with framework engineering teams and cross-functional QA teams. You will be developing automated testing infrastructure, manually validating new features, and ensuring seamless integration across Apple’s ecosystem of platforms.

Description

As a Software QA Engineer, you will responsible for both manual and automated testing across mobile and backend features. You will design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using Swift (XCTest/XCUITest) and Python, while also performing manual testing to uncover usability issues, edge cases, and regressions that automation may miss. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to understand feature requirements, define test strategies, and ensure high quality releases. Your work will include crafting, implementing, and maintaining test plans and test cases, triaging issues and validating fixes in a timely manner. As a representative of the QA team in cross-functional discussions, you’ll communicate test results, advocate for quality, and help drive process improvements. Additionally, you’ll contribute to our CI/CD infrastructure, improve automation reliability, and continuously refine the balance between manual validation and automated coverage to enhance efficiency and product quality.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of developer tools, SDKs, and framework testing and validation methodologies

• Experience qualifying apps with machine learning dependencies

• Proficiency in testing mobile/desktop apps, cloud based frameworks, and backend/APIs
