The User Privacy team seeks an engineer with a passion for test development to help us ensure that the strong privacy protections in Apple's platforms remain that way in every release and every build.

Additional responsibilities will include risk analysis and integration testing across Apple platforms.
<h3>Minimum Qualifications</h3>Experience writing code in Objective C or Swift to test an API, SDK, or Frameworks
Experience developing for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and/or visionOS with XCTest and Xcode
Experience developing various forms of software tests (unit, functional, performance, stress)
Experience in driving development and deployment of continuous integration systems
<h3>Preferred Qualifications</h3>Detail oriented, analytical, and creative problem solver with curiosity about developing quality software
Ability to triage problems, prioritize accordingly, and propose a resolution
Ability to work independently, raise issues and take corrective action
