Quality Automation Engineer - App Store QA

The Apple Services Engineering team is one of the most exciting examples of

Apple’s long-held passion for combining art and technology. These are the people

who power the App Store, Apple TV , Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple

Books. And they do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple’s high expectations with

high performance to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 35 languages

to more than 150 countries. These engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions.

They develop the custom software used to process all the creative work, the

tools that providers use to deliver that media, all the server-side systems, and

the APIs for many Apple services. Thanks to Apple’s unique integration of

hardware, software, and services, engineers here partner to get behind a single

unified vision. That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening

Apple’s privacy policy , one of Apple’s core values. Although services are a

bigger part of Apple’s business than ever before, these teams remain small,

nimble, and cross-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of

opportunities here.
