Job description

The VideoApps QA team ensures the quality and reliability of Apple's video editing applications, including Final Cut Pro for iPad. As a Tools and Automation Engineer, you will shape the test strategy and infrastructure for these creative tools. This role combines deep QA expertise with hands-on automation engineering in a dynamic environment. You will work closely with engineering and product teams to develop effective test plans and maintain high-quality standards.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in software QA or quality engineering roles.
  • 4+ years of experience planning, designing, writing, maintaining, and executing test cases using Swift and/or Python.
  • 3+ years of experience testing customer-facing software applications with a focus on functional correctness, usability, and reliability.
  • Proven experience shipping at least one commercial or consumer product through a full release cycle.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.

Responsibilities

  • Plan, design, write, maintain, and execute test cases both manually and through automation.
  • Work closely with engineering and product teams to extract user scenarios from feature descriptions and requirements.
  • Conduct bug detection, isolation, and regression testing.
  • Invest continuously in automation frameworks that scale with the product.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD-integrated test pipelines to catch regressions early in the development cycle.

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.
