About The Position
Do you want to help build some of the largest and most consequential enterprise and customer technology systems in the world? Join Apple's Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) organization. IS&T is the engine behind everything Apple does for customers and for the people who build for them. It's Apple's central nervous system. Supporting 2.5 billion active Apple devices, processing billions of secure transactions, and keeping the technology that defines modern life running flawlessly, IS&T makes the impossible feel effortless. Do you love building solutions to handle global complexity and immense scale? Imagine what you could do here. Infrastructure Services is part of IS&T and the foundation of Apple's global network operations, managing data center equipment and systems to deliver compute, storage, and networking services for teams across Apple, including its internal developer community. From individual facilities to a worldwide network, Infrastructure Services ensures the technology underneath everything works without question.
Requirements
- Hands-on software engineering experience designing and building test frameworks, harnesses, or automation platforms (not just authoring individual test cases), spanning unit, integration, and end to end testing layers
- Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used for building automation tooling (Go, Python), with the ability to write production-quality, maintainable code rather than scripts
- Hands-on experience designing API contracts and working across interface technologies (JSON, ProtoBuf, REST, RPC, XML, etc.) to build testable, well-abstracted systems
- Experience with Kubernetes, OpenStack, system virtualization, and infrastructure as code, with the ability to build and operate infrastructure, not just test against it
- Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate architecture decisions, technical tradeoffs, test strategy, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Familiarity with observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing), including the ability to instrument and build observability into automation tooling itself, not just consume it for test validation and debugging
Nice To Haves
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience in software engineering
- Prior experience building developer-facing testing tools or platforms
- Experience with scale, performance and resiliency testing in networked/cloud environments
Responsibilities
- Architect, build, and scale a test automation platform that empowers developers to write end to end functional tests for the virtual networking layer of Apple's private cloud platforms.
- Design and ship production-grade frameworks, libraries, and developer tooling that make testing a first-class part of the engineering workflow.
- Spend roughly half your time engineering the automation platform itself (framework architecture, CI/CD integration, test infrastructure, developer experience).
- Spend the other half writing code, driving test strategy, and implementing automated test cases against the virtual networking stack in close partnership with developers.
