TL;DR · Automation and Triage Engineer

As an Automation and Triage Engineer, Siri, you will join the Siri organization to build tools and systems that maintain high quality standards for a widely used AI assistant. You will design and maintain end-to-end automated test suites across various Apple platforms while authoring evaluation scenarios that reflect real-world user intent and on-device context. Your daily work involves investigating and triaging complex failures within the AI stack, including planner behavior, tool execution, search, context retrieval, and response generation. You will distinguish product regressions from infrastructure noise to provide actionable outcomes for engineering and machine learning teams. To succeed, you must possess strong software engineering fundamentals with experience in Python or Swift, as well as familiarity with LLM-based systems, prompt design, agentic coding systems, and evaluation methodologies for complex software systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain end-to-end automated test suites for Siri across multiple Apple platforms.
  • Author and scale evaluation scenarios that reflect real-world user intent and on-device context.
  • Investigate and triage complex failures across the AI stack, including planner behavior and tool execution.
  • Distinguish product regressions from infrastructure noise to provide clear root cause analysis.
  • Define quality metrics and track regressions in collaboration with engineering and ML teams.
  • Validate improvements and ensure high-quality performance before products are shipped.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in software development or test engineering with leadership in quality strategy and automation.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals including hands-on experience in Python, Swift, or both.
  • Proven track record of building test automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or evaluation infrastructure for complex systems.
  • Experience with agentic coding systems and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation and prototyping.
  • Familiarity with machine learning concepts, LLM-based systems, prompt design, and model behavior analysis.
  • Preferred experience with on-device AI, natural language understanding, or conversational systems.
  • Preferred experience in scenario-based testing, agent trajectory analysis, or quality for consumer-facing AI products.
