Design, implement, and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, system, regression) as part of normal development work.
Integrate security features and ensure compliance with secure coding and secure testing standards.
Perform code reviews, test reviews, debugging, and root-cause analysis to ensure high-quality deliverables.
Improve test coverage, testability, and automation effectiveness.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by embedding testing, validation, and quality checks.
Stay up to date with macOS platform changes, emerging technologies, and evolving security threats.
Contribute to technical documentation, test plans, and engineering best practices.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
Solid experience as a full-stack or systems engineer, with hands-on development experience on macOS or Linux platforms.
Strong proficiency in C++ or Python, with experience building reliable and testable systems.
Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, design patterns, and quality engineering principles.
Strong testing experience, including:
Automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end)
Test design, test strategy, and defect analysis
Designing for testability
Experience with Agile development, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
