Do you want to make a positive impact on the direction of new, key technologies in consumer products while pioneering the future of intelligent quality assurance?

We're seeking a creative and motivated Software Engineer to join our Product Systems Quality team, working to ensure world-changing Mac and Home products are delivered at the highest quality to all our customers! To achieve this, it requires building large automated frameworks to gather thousands of hours of test data weekly, and we need people like you to help us build and maintain our tools for critical stability testing of Mac and Home products. You'll plan, design and write code for system stability automation with an emphasis on hardware-centric software risks simultaneously run on a large number of systems. You will be at the nexus of hardware and software where you work cross-functionally with several engineering and QA teams to identify risk areas and testing responses, and to support engineering investigations.

We expect artificial intelligence and machine learning to be at the core of the work, developing next-generation automation tools that predict, prevent, and optimize critical system failures before they impact customers.

Come join our team!
