Description
Software Integration breaks down into two key components. First is bug screening, which involves triaging, understanding, prioritizing, and categorizing all incoming bug reports for the Fitness software components. This is an important and difficult task as the volume of incoming bugs is high and you have to quickly separate bugs of varying priority and importance, diving quickly into the details of each issue. The second component of the role is Integration and Pre-submission testing itself. Integration involves packaging up the changes from the engineering teams and then carefully testing via a combination of manual and automation before submitting the components to the larger software build trains. Across multiple major software trains and dependencies, there is often extra complexity and diligence involved to make sure the end result is successful. Both roles are very dynamic and changing with different technologies, priorities, and projects coming into play. Both roles also involve embedding and close collaboration with partner engineering and quality teams, attending standup and other meetings to understand the state of projects. As manager of the team, you are responsible for empowering and growing your engineers and knowing the latest or ahead of the curve of internal Apple technologies involved in Screening and Integration. As the manager of the team, you may also have to step into these roles and fill gaps or provide coverage to ensure processes are working well. You will also be responsible for fostering an inclusive work environment that values and listens different perspectives on and off the team. There is lot we can do using more automation and new technologies like natural language processing and large language models to improve and streamline all of the functions of the team. The end goal is helping to deliver high quality software that our customers will love.
