About The Position

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. If you bring passion and dedication to your work, we want to hear from you. Every photo, video call, movie, and song experienced across hundreds of millions of Apple devices runs through the media pipeline our team helps protect. The Media Frameworks Quality Engineering team sits at the heart of the Media, Graphics & Compute (MGC) organization — the foundation that powers immersive spatial video on Vision Pro, professional-grade media workflows on Mac, and the everyday moments people capture and share on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and AirPods/Beats. We're looking for a self-motivated Software Quality Engineer who's energized by complexity and driven to get the details right before a single customer ever sees them. You'll be hands-on from day one: designing and building test apps in Swift, architecting automation in Python, and shaping the quality bar for media features while they're still being invented. This isn't testing after the fact — it's engineering quality into the product alongside the teams building the future of media on Apple platforms. If you thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, love solving hard technical problems, and want your work to be felt by nearly every person who picks up an Apple device, we'd love to talk.

In this role, you'll be the last line of defense between a great idea and a great customer experience — the person who ensures every movie plays flawlessly, every FaceTime call connects the people who matter most, and every photo and video someone cherishes is exactly as they remember it. You'll craft comprehensive test plans for features still taking shape, drive functional and regression testing to catch what others miss, and build automation that scales quality across an ever-growing set of workflows. When something's not right, you'll be the one who finds it, documents it with precision, and communicates it clearly to the engineers and stakeholders who need to act on it — turning rigorous testing into world-class media experiences that hundreds of millions of people rely on every day.
