Summary

As the manager of Fitness Software Integration team, you and your team play a critical role in the lifecycle of Fitness software components across all of Apple’s software platforms.

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 presubmission 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 extremely 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.
