• Triage & Analysis: Identify, reproduce, and file detailed bug reports that include device context, stack traces, and potential root cause analysis.

• Tooling & Scripting: Support test workflows by using Unix/Shell Scripting and Python for test automation and data handling.
• Specialised Testing: Execute specialised testing related to hardware functionality (e.g., Bluetooth, sensors, or accessories).

• Experience Level: 14+ years of professional experience with proven success building and supporting applications at a massive, global scale.
• Automation Deep Dive: Extensive experience in test automation, ideally using XCTest/XCUI, and a strong interest in integrating with third-party test platforms.

• Autonomy & Leadership: Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments and define the automation strategy, tools, and best practices for the team.

• Knowledge of Objective-C, SwiftUI, or other Apple development tools.
• Familiarity with automation pipelines, test dashboards, or reporting systems (e.g., integrating test results into Prometheus/Grafana).
