Summary
Are you a big-picture thinker who loves setting ambitious goals? Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device’s identity as a whole. That’s because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience. Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, VisionOS and tvOS. By crafting these distinct, holistic user experiences, you’ll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices.nnWe are working to take the build and test process of the low-level components of iOS, macOS, watchOS, VisionOS and tvOS to the next level (think kernel and low-level libraries). We don’t have all of the answers on how to do that yet, perhaps you do? We are exploring, measuring and trying new things. We are responsible for validating nearly a quarter of all changes that go into our OS releases and affect 1 billion+ customers, so this isn’t just a theoretical exercise. We won’t be satisfied with anything less than outstanding.
Description
As a Software Developer and Test Engineer you will be impacting the software organization at Apple to ensure the internal release of iOS and macOS are reliable every day. You will be responsible for building a stable software environment for engineers to develop on and for internal users of iOS and macOS to live on. The role is essential to ensure that we continue to provide top-notch OS to various organizations within the company and eventually a healthy and stable OS release to our customers. nThe responsibilities for this position include the following: nWe investigate defects found in the OS submission pipeline to identify culpritsnWe triage issues and route them to the correct team using a variety of debug methodsnWe develop and improve the submission process as it relates to test/triage/debugnWe develop tools and tests that aid in triaging test failures and contribute to the test infrastructurenWe build software products to implement efficiencies, and to automate testing and debugging.nWe provide a platform to enable our Engineering and Quality teams to deliver better products more effectively by developing orchestration to make the end-to-end process of building operating systems continuously improving We collaborate with teams of software and quality engineersnWe guide the organization on process improvement initiativesnWe work with the engineering and extended test teams to improve the continuous build’s regression test coverage
Minimum Qualifications
