Job description

You will own quality strategy for our client apps from concept through release. Rather than gatekeeping at the end of the pipeline, you'll build quality in from the start, defining the test strategy and release-readiness bar for the features we ship across macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Day to day, you'll pair AI-driven QA and automated test infrastructure with the human oversight that catches what matters, and use data to keep partners and leadership clear on where quality stands. You'll lead through working systems and evidence rather than mandates, mentoring a team of engineers so that high standards become how the whole org ships, not an afterthought. 8+ years of professional work experience in software QA, including 4+ years managing or leading quality engineering teams — providing guidance, direction, and technical leadership. Hands-on engineering ability — you can build test tooling and review systems-level code. Thorough understanding of the SDLC — specifically CI/CD and automated QA processes in an agile development environment. Demonstrated ability to scope, schedule, and resource multiple complex projects in collaboration with partners. Working knowledge of client/server architectures, including those using RESTful APIs. Outstanding communication skills (oral, written, and interpersonal), including the ability to communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience. Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field. Experience creating and putting into practice quality processes and best practices across multiple products and teams — building the foundation of quality for an org. Experience with AI-powered development and testing tools to accelerate quality workflows and expand test coverage. Experience with automated test frameworks, Continuous Integration systems, XCTest, and XCUITest. Experience with Apple hardware and software. Excellent cross-functional influencer, comfortable in a fast-paced environment with frequent context switching. A persistent, inquisitive problem solver — self-motivated, proactive, and committed to driving quality forward.
