The VideoApps QA team is responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of Apple's second-party video editing applications, including Final Cut Pro for iPad and related products. As a Software Developer in Test, you will be at the intersection of engineering and quality assurance, designing and building the automated test infrastructure that powers our team's ability to ship world-class video software. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how modern automation and AI/ML-driven workflows are adopted across the team.
In this role, you will design, implement, and execute automated test suites and custom tooling in Swift and Python, covering everything from API workflows to end-to-end video application scenarios. You will collaborate closely with software engineers and product teams to identify quality gaps early in the development lifecycle, driving bug isolation and regression coverage across complex video editing features. Beyond your own technical contributions, you will mentor manual QA engineers and help scale team-wide automation capabilities as the organization evolves its testing practices.
