Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something! The Cloud File Providers team is looking for an SDET to help build the future of File Sync on Apple devices. We are responsible for the FileProvider framework, a technology that powers file sync applications used by millions of people, like Google Drive and iCloud Drive, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. FileProvider enables file syncing applications to focus on their product and users, by implementing a host of functionality in the operating system itself. Behind an easy to use 3rd party API, we provide a resilient file syncing engine, automatic download and offloading of file contents based on user access patterns and device storage levels, integration with Apple's own Finder and Files applications, integration with Spotlight search, power and performance optimizations, and much more. Our team has given several talks available on developer.apple.com, including "Sync files to the cloud with FileProvider on macOS", and "Bring desktop class sync to iOS with FileProvider".
