Software Tools and Automation

This role sits at the intersection of client testing and data validation. Day-to-day work spans testing on real devices, simulators, and direct data queries. When something looks off, we document it thoroughly, attaching queries, HAR files, and a clear explanation of what's broken and why. Test plans are detailed: platforms in scope, the specific fields under test, and how we're validating them. You'll work closely with client, server, and data engineers, EPMs, and stakeholders, so being able to communicate clearly across those groups is part of the job. The people who do best here are naturally curious, have a sharp eye for what doesn't add up in large datasets across multiple platforms, and are always looking for ways to automate the repetitive stuff so the team can focus on what actually requires human judgment.

Validate analytics instrumentation across all Apple TV platforms using real devices, simulators, and direct data queries
Write and maintain automated test scripts to improve coverage and reduce manual toil
Document test plans detailing platforms in scope, fields under test, and validation approach
File detailed bug reports with supporting evidence including queries and HAR files, with a clear explanation of the issue and its impact
Collaborate with client, server, and data engineers to understand changes and assess testing scope
Communicate findings clearly to both technical partners and non-technical stakeholders

Bachelor's degree in a STEM field or equivalent relevant experience.
Experience with network traffic analysis, including an understanding of how network requests work, inspecting payloads, and diagnosing missing or malformed events (e.g. Charles Proxy, browser dev tools, or similar)
Experience querying and validating data using SQL
Experience writing test automation scripts in Python, Swift, or similar

Familiarity with Apple native platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS)
Experience with log analysis or observability tools such as Splunk
Familiarity with distributed SQL engines such as Trino is a plus
Experience with XCUI automation
Exposure to agentic coding tools or AI-assisted development workflows

We're looking for a QA Analytics Engineer who's excited by that challenge. This is a rare mix of skills and we know it. You might come from a client testing background, have deep experience with data and SQL, or somewhere in between. What matters most is that you're curious, thorough, and eager to grow.
