About the role

Software Development Engineer in Test leading test automation and quality initiatives for web applications and APIs within Apple’s Marcom Quality Engineering team. Focus on scalable automation frameworks, AI-assisted quality tooling, and knowledge management to enable data-driven quality across distributed vendor-driven delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Drive architectural decisions for test frameworks that scale across large, content-rich applications, ensuring test results are trustworthy and actionable.
  • Design, implement, and evolve test automation across web applications and services — including integration, functional, and E2E tests — ensuring reliability and long-term maintainability across diverse program types.
  • Partner with engineers building AI-powered QE tools to apply LLM-based approaches to test generation, failure analysis, and quality insights.
  • Establish knowledge management standards for vendor partners, ensuring all artifacts, including onboarding materials, test strategies, etc. are systematically captured in queryable systems.
  • Design and run scalable accountability systems for staff augmentation—tracking quality by team, standardizing agency handoffs, and enabling self-serve onboarding—so performance and dependencies are driven by data, not escalation.
  • Conduct audits of vendor deliverables (test cases, automation, defect reports) and drive continuous quality improvements

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or 5 years of relevant industry experience in the US.
  • Programming fundamentals demonstrated for large/shared test codebases, with the ability to ramp quickly as the stack evolves, including experience designing test architecture for asynchronous, event-driven systems.
  • Experience testing web applications using modern automation frameworks such as Playwright, WebdriverIO, or XCUITest, including practices for scalable, reliable, and maintainable test automation.
  • Experience testing APIs, including RESTful and/or GraphQL services, with automated frameworks and an understanding of API design principles.
  • Experience working with CI/test infrastructure, including improving reliability and feedback speed or operating CI runners and executors using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Harness.
  • Experience working with vendor teams, including contributing to shared processes and onboarding standards.
