Job Details

Marcom is Apple's creatively led team behind consumer marketing worldwide. The Marcom Platform & Services Quality Engineering team is seeking a full-stack Software Engineer to turn internal tools into a quality platform-shared services, APIs, and evaluation pipelines-for development, QE, and production. You'll apply modern AI/ML to expand automated coverage, cut flakiness, and speed CI signal. Our work supports high-visibility launches for millions of customers in 100+ languages.

Description As a Software Engineer, you'll prototype quickly, tie engineering to business outcomes, and balance rigor with AI-driven velocity. You'll build and extend the quality platform-orchestration, retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and APIs-that scales quality across the portfolio.

Responsibilities
  • Build LLM-assisted quality capabilities that generate test plans/cases from specs and code changes, implement self-healing tests, detect flaky tests, and perform change-impact analysis.
  • Design a retrieval layer (embeddings + vector search) over specifications, PRs, logs, and historical test artifacts to power internal QA copilots and developer experiences.
  • Own how we test using AI-create test sets, set CI gates, alert on regressions-and report accuracy, coverage gains, hallucinations, latency, and cost.
  • Design and develop platform APIs for use in automation frameworks.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Requires Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a technical field or a minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience.
  • Proficiency in Node or Python and ability to read/write the other.
  • Built and owned an automation framework (e.g., Selenium, Jest, Playwright) or test infrastructure for at least one platform (web, native, or APIs).
  • Shipped an internal or external LLM-powered capability (e.g., prompting with tool/function calls, automated evals, or CI gating; understands accuracy/latency/cost trade-offs).
  • Designed and operated REST/GraphQL services and data flows that feed automation/test systems; solid integration-testing practice.
  • Experience in CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Harness) and Docker.

Preferred Qualifications
  • 8+ years as a Software Engineer and 5+ years in automation & validation.
  • Cross-platform automation frameworks across web, native, and APIs; experience reducing flake and improving time-to-signal via heuristics/stats.
  • Retrieval/RAG depth: metadata filtering, chunking, index design, re-ranking, evaluation; familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Qdrant, Pinecone, OpenSearch) and embeddings.
  • Strong Python for ML/LLM workflows; advanced TypeScript and Node for platform services.
  • Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code exposure.
  • Expertise in mocking / dependency injection.
  • Ability to explain complex systems simply to engineers and non-engineers.
