The System Experience Test Engineering team at Apple is seeking a dedicated software engineer to ensure the quality of Apple's iconic operating systems. This role involves working on projects like SpringBoard and Spotlight, collaborating with software engineers and project managers. The engineer will focus on both manual and automated testing to deliver high-quality software. Attention to detail and a passion for quality processes are essential for success in this position.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or two years of directly related work experience.
  • Three years of experience as a software engineer.
  • Experience writing code in Swift or Objective C to test an API, SDK, or Frameworks.
  • Experience writing and triaging automated software tests, including unit-tests, regression tests, functional tests, and stress tests.
  • Experience in developing test plans, assessing risk, filing appropriate bugs, and consolidating bug reports.
  • Experience in driving development and deployment of relevant testing tools and infrastructure.
  • Experience with XCTest and Xcode.
  • Detail oriented, analytical, and a creative problem solver with a passion for quality processes.
  • Ability to triage problems, prioritize accordingly, and propose a resolution.
  • Ability to work independently, raise issues, and take corrective action.

Responsibilities

  • Work on a multi-functional team responsible for testing Apple's operating systems.
  • Ensure the quality of software through continuous integration testing.
  • Conduct a mix of manual testing supplemented by automated suites.
  • Focus on larger projects while paying attention to small UI details.
  • Collaborate closely with software engineers, project managers, and other quality teams.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
