Software QA Engineer Agentic OS Experiences

Were a small team at Apple betting on what comes next. We believe Al will fundamentally change how people interact with their devices and were looking for a Software QA Engineer who wants to help build that cant say much about what were building for our customers. What we can say: the problems are genuinely new and the potential reach is the work were a collaborative humble and curious group that loves learning from each other and building looking for critical thinkers who would like to play a key role qualifying critical software and the frameworks that support it during all stages of software development. We practice nimble fast-paced development that relies heavily on a tight relationship between Engineering Project Management and QA.

Youll work alongside a tight group of engineers designers and researchers to bring AI features from early prototype to product. This is 0-to-1 work - from a rough idea on a whiteboard to software running on real devices. Youll have a lot of autonomy in how you get there. Youll grow here. The work is hard enough to demand it and the team is generous enough to support it.
