Apple Maps aims to enhance the reliability and performance of its navigation and location experiences by building sophisticated test solutions that scale. The team is focused on ensuring the accuracy and quality of Apple Maps across all platforms through automation and innovation.
Requirements
- Strong programming skills in Swift and Objective-C, with experience reading, debugging, and extending framework-level or API-level code.
- Hands-on experience with asynchronous programming and testing (async/await, callbacks, concurrency, dispatch queues).
- Proven expertise in framework or non-UI automation - validating APIs, SDKs, or service integrations.
- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation infrastructure (ATP, Jenkins, Xcode Cloud).
- Experience partnering with Client, Services, and Quality Engineers to define automation needs and architect the right solutions for the right problems.
- Exposure to or direct experience integrating AI/ML techniques into automation workflows (intelligent triage, anomaly detection, test selection).
- Analytics automation or test-data validation experience is a strong plus.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement framework-level automation that validates navigation routing, guidance, ETA accuracy, and other service integrations.
- Build asynchronous and data-driven tests that model real-world navigation behaviors and system responses.
- Collaborate with Client, Services, and Quality Engineers to identify coverage gaps, define automation requirements, and deliver scalable solutions that improve reliability and signal quality.
- Extend existing frameworks to support multiple environments, reduce runtime, and strengthen regression detection.
- Collaborate with AI-driven quality initiatives to integrate intelligent insights - enabling smarter test selection, automated triage, and faster root-cause analysis.
- Contribute to the evolution of Apple Maps’ automation ecosystem, helping to shape how AI, analytics, and frameworks come together to raise the bar for quality at scale.
- Your work will directly influence how millions of users experience navigation, discovery, and exploration across the Apple ecosystem.
Other
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent, with 3-5+ years of industry experience in test automation or iOS development.
- Strong analytical, debugging, and communication skills.
- Passion for building clean, reusable test components and contributing to test infrastructure evolution.
- Strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and drive to improve quality at scale.
- Experience with Maps, Navigation, or GeoServices frameworks, or other large-scale system APIs.
