Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), Web + Server — Find My

The Find My team builds a seamless, private, and secure way for people to locate their devices and personal items — and share location with friends and family — at a scale of hundreds of millions of users worldwide. We're a fast-paced, collaborative group of engineers, designers, and product managers who wear many hats and partner across hardware, software, and privacy to ship groundbreaking, reliable experiences.

As an SDET on the Find My team, you'll thrive in a fast-paced, startup-like environment, owning test strategy and automation across the stack — backend services and web — for features that reach hundreds of millions of users. You'll partner closely with engineers to shift testing left, build reliable automation into our CI/CD pipelines, and continuously raise the bar on quality as we build the future of Find My.

AI readiness

We expect our SDETs to be fluent with modern AI tooling — comfortable using GenAI and AI-assisted coding/testing tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) to accelerate test authoring, triage, and coverage, with sound judgment about where AI helps and where human verification is essential.
