Imagine what you could do here at Apple. Innovation runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts, and the diversity of people and ideas makes it possible. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
The watchOS System Experience group is responsible for the system behavior, frameworks, and components that are at the heart of watchOS—and on which all Apple Watch apps depend. As the manager of the watchOS System Experience Screening, Integration, and Testing team, you and your team will play a critical role in the lifecycle of this core software. If you’re curious, like solving puzzles, are always thinking about how to make tools and processes better, and want to work on a product that makes a meaningful difference in the health, fitness, and productivity of millions of people around the globe, read on!
You will lead, mentor, and grow a diverse team to screen—categorize, analyze, and prioritize—a high volume of bug reports; integrate software changes across various components; coordinate pre-submission testing to validate features and fixes and prevent regressions; and submit those well-tested changes to the proper build trains. This work requires close collaboration with the engineers and other managers in the System Experience group and with development, QA, tools, and build engineers across Apple. You’ll look for opportunities to improve tooling, automate log analysis and other processes, and measure what matters to make sure your team and the entire Watch Software organization can stay focused on the right things to produce high-quality software that our customers will love.
