Software Development Engineer in Test, Creative Apps

What if your automation code was the last line of defense before a feature reached a billion devices This role sits at the convergence of engineering rigor and product quality across Apples iOS and macOS platforms where the frameworks you build determine whether releases ship with confidence or not. The team operates end-to-end across the SDLC and the bar for what good looks like here resets what you thought quality engineering could be.

Youll architect and own test automation frameworks that run inside live CI/CD pipelines catching regressions before they ever reach a human reviewer. Every sprint youll work shoulder-to-shoulder with software engineers and product managers who expect quality to be a design input not an afterthought. The tools you write will compress release cycles the gaps you find will shape roadmap decisions and the standards you set will outlast any single product cycle.

Build production-grade automated test suites in Python and Swift that validate iOS and macOS features at scale across unit integration and regression layersnOwn the UI automation infrastructure end-to-end from XCUITest/XUI framework design to seamless CI/CD pipeline integrationnDrive test strategy for entire feature areas defining coverage models risk tiers and quality gates that directly gate release decisionsnIdentify and close coverage gaps through root cause analysis translating triage findings into systemic automation improvementsnAccelerate team-wide quality practices by evaluating and integrating emerging tooling including GenAI-assisted test generation and prompt engineering workflowsnPerform manual functional testing as needed to validate new features regressions and complex user workflows that are not yet automated or require exploratory validation.

3 years of hands-on experience in SDET QA automation or software engineering with a testing focusnBachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering or we may consider an equivalent depth demonstrated through industry worknAdvanced proficiency in Python and Swift specifically for building automated test frameworks and test tooling not just scriptingnPractical command of the full SDLC with clear experience embedding quality gates at multiple phases from design review through releasenProven track record designing and executing multi-layered test strategies spanning functional integration regression and exploratory methodologiesnDirect experience building UI automation with XCUITest or XUI frameworks against real Apple platform targetsnDemonstrated ability to integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines and maintain them as living infrastructure
