TL;DR · Forward Deployed Engineer, Maps Client QE Intelligence

As a Forward Deployed Engineer on the Maps Client Quality Engineering Intelligence team, you will work closely with QE leads, SDETs, and engineering managers to build AI-native tools that enhance their workflows. Your role involves understanding user needs through direct engagement, identifying areas for improvement, and developing solutions in Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, aiohttp, and Next.js. You will ensure the adoption of these tools by measuring usage over time and iterating based on feedback. The team focuses on integrating AI into quality engineering processes to standardize practices across the organization, requiring strong skills in applied AI, LLM application building, and experience with vector databases and containerized deployments. This role demands a balance between technical expertise and user-centric design, ensuring that your work has a tangible impact on daily operations within Apple's Maps Client Quality Engineering team.

What you'll do

  • Stay close to users to understand their workflows and pain points.
  • Choose the most impactful projects to build based on user needs.
  • Develop end-to-end solutions including Python services, Next.js front-ends, and TypeScript integrations.
  • Make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality under release pressure.
  • Ensure high adoption of built tools after launch by revisiting and improving as needed.
  • Generalize successful patterns into reusable building blocks for the broader platform.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience shipping production software end-to-end.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript with hands-on experience in FastAPI/aiohttp and Next.js.
  • Proven ability to build tools or features that another team adopted unprompted.
  • Demonstrated engineering judgment in scoping, including descoping underperforming features.
  • Comfortable working from observation rather than a written spec for at least one project.
  • Experience applying LLMs with shipped projects using an LLM API and debugging retrieval-augmented systems.
