We are a best-in-class quality-focused engineering team with a passion for building and leading test automation initiatives. We excel at designing and implementing tools and frameworks that There are jobs, and then there are opportunities. We are a small but impactful group in iCloud focused on building high-quality automation frameworks, tools, and infrastructure that help engineers deliver exceptional products at scale.

As part of the iCloud Quality Engineering team, you will drive automation initiatives that improve test coverage, reliability, and engineering efficiency. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design scalable automation solutions, raise product quality, and help shape the future of AI-driven testing workflows within the Apple ecosystem.

If you are passionate about software quality, automation, and solving complex engineering challenges, we would love to hear from you.

Description

We are looking for a Tools and Automation Engineer to build, own, and evolve the test automation ecosystem for iCloud's core products across iOS, macOS, and the web. You will design the frameworks, tools, and infrastructure that make testing reliable and scalable across large, complex systems, and you will apply AI to how tests are written, run, and triaged.

The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer first. You have deep experience building production-quality automation, and you debug problems across every layer of the stack. You can own a project end to end: deciding what needs to be automated, designing and delivering it, and producing a signal people trust when they make release decisions. You work well in a fast-paced environment, adapt quickly when priorities change, and make the engineers around you more effective.

Responsibilities

Lead quality efforts across cross-functional teams.

Identify automation requirements and design solutions to address test execution challenges.

Analyze existing codebases and find opportunities for improvement.

Leverage AI to enhance existing tools and daily productivity.

Minimum Qualifications

4+ years of experience in test automation, software development in test, or quality engineering.

Strong programming skills in Python, Swift, or a comparable language.

Proven track record of building and maintaining production-quality automation code.

Experience designing and building automated test frameworks and tools, not only writing tests within existing ones.

Experience writing test plans and creating automated UI tests with XCTest, WebDriver, or equivalent tools.

Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle, testing methodologies, and QA processes.

Experience working with CI systems and test infrastructure.

Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate and triage difficult problems both independently and collaboratively.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience leading quality for a cross-functional project, or owning automation for a product area end to end.

Experience mentoring engineers or setting technical direction for an automation codebase.

Experience integrating LLMs or agentic workflows into developer and QA tooling, such as automated failure triage, test-case generation, or log and artifact analysis.

Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants to speed up test authoring, debugging, and automation development.

Experience building internal developer tools or test infrastructure, such as execution platforms, test data services, or results dashboards.

Familiarity with API, integration, and UI automation strategies, and with testing distributed cloud services.

Hands-on experience with Apple platforms (iOS, macOS) and the web.

Experience improving test reliability and reducing flakiness in large-scale environments.

Excellent communication, documentation, and presentation skills.

BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
