Embark on a new route in your career! Offering a host of innovative features and rich data, Apple Maps powers experiences across Apple's product line. Join the MapKit Quality Engineering team to help deliver the revolutionary Apple Maps experience - reliably and at scale - to apps and websites reaching millions of users every day. This role oversees the scaling of automation testing across MapKit SDK on iOS, MacOS, WatchOS, Android and JS platforms, including a growing focus on Android automation, SDK/API validation, and CI reliability.

Description

If you enjoy building quality into developer-facing products and leading testing strategy across a fast-moving, cross-functional organization, this role is for you. The MapKit QE team is responsible for the quality of our public APIs and SDKs - including MapKit SDK for Apple native platforms, Android, and MapKit JS - as well as the automation frameworks and tools powering our developer ecosystem. You will lead a team of quality engineers who partner closely with development, product, and design throughout the full feature lifecycle: from early design review and test planning, through automation framework development, execution, triage, and release sign-off - all the way to features shipping at Apple's Developer Conference.

The ideal candidate combines technical depth in test engineering, SDK/API automation, and people management, with a passion for shipping high-quality developer experiences. In addition to leading a QE team, you should be comfortable driving test strategy for complex, multi-platform SDKs, championing automation and continuous testing best practices, and coaching engineers to grow in their careers.

* Guide the design and development of automation frameworks and tools to validate MapKit SDK, APIs, and sample/test applications across platforms (iOS, Android, and Web)

* Partner with Engineering and Product Management to review feature and API designs early, identify risk areas, and ensure testability is built in from the start

* Drive best practices in automation, continuous testing, and testability across the development lifecycle

* Lead bug triage, root-cause analysis, and go/no-go release decisions across MapKit deliverables

* Oversee test result aggregation, analysis, and reporting to surface trends, gaps, and quality risks

* Represent QE in cross-functional discussions, including at key milestones

* Recruit, mentor, and develop quality engineers, helping them grow their technical and leadership skills
