Job description

The Security Engineering and Architecture QA team is looking for a QA engineer to test various security projects. This role involves designing and building tests for security features while collaborating with QA and software engineers. The engineer will develop a deep understanding of the technology under test and create both manual and automated test coverage. Success in this position requires strong technical skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across teams.

Requirements

  • Typically 5 or more years of experience as a Software QA Automation Engineer or equivalent demonstrated capability.
  • Proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages, such as Swift, Objective-C, or Python.
  • Experience developing test frameworks and automated test tooling.
  • Experience designing automated and manual tests that surface hard to find defects.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders across teams.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to investigate issues independently.
  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities and respond efficiently.
  • Familiarity with macOS/iOS platform technologies.
  • Experience using Xcode to write, triage, and debug automation scripts.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and leading cross-team quality initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement test plans for security features developed across the organization.
  • Build a deep understanding of the technology under test by working alongside the engineers who own it.
  • Translate technical understanding into thorough manual and automated test coverage.
  • Develop and maintain tests, investigate and debug issues, and report results clearly.
  • Write and build test tooling while communicating with developers and other QA engineers.
  • Shape test plans and reach agreement on approach with cross-functional teams.
  • Coordinate work as priorities shift to ensure timely execution.

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.
