  • 10+ years of experience in software quality assurance, platform validation, or systems testing.
  • 5+ years of leadership experience managing technical quality assurance (QA), quality engineering (QE), or platform validation teams.
  • Experience validating scalable architectures across Server, Client, WebDirect, APIs, and cloud or on-premises deployments.
  • Knowledge of modern cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Experience with the Claris FileMaker platform, including Server, Pro, WebDirect, and Data API.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the quality strategy, validation architecture, and release readiness for mission-critical server and FileMaker platform technologies.
  • Own the end-to-end quality lifecycle and partner with cross-functional teams to ensure scalable and secure capabilities.
  • Drive technical quality direction to enable reliable data services and enhance customer experiences.
  • Prepare and present technical quality risks and release status reports to stakeholders.
  • Establish rigorous testing standards for bias detection, safety, and regulatory compliance.

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.
