Job description
from Apple careersAt Apple Maps, we're not just building world-class location experiences — we're shaping the future of how people explore and navigate the world. The Maps Client Quality Engineering Intelligence (QEI) team applies AI across the full breadth of QE workflows — from test scheduling and triage to coverage analysis and release readiness — to help QE leads and SDETs ship with confidence. We raise quality and velocity at the same time. Our culture is one of deep collaboration, shared ownership, and a belief that the best solutions come from staying close to the people who use them. If you're excited about applying AI to transform how a large quality organization works, we'd love to have you on the journey.
As a member of the Maps Client Quality Engineering organization, you will identify opportunities to apply AI solutions across QE workflows — test planning, automation, triage, analytics, and reporting— and build the platforms that deliver them. You will bridge QE leads who define test strategy and SDETs who build automation foundations, becoming the engineer both groups come to when they need a problem solved. The AI landscape is changing fast; you will help the team stay ahead by evaluating new techniques, prototyping quickly, and knowing when to ship versus iterate.
<h3>Minimum Qualifications</h3>Strong Python skills with experience building backend services, data pipelines, or APIs.
