Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer, Triage Intelligence and Debug Engineering, CoreOS - **Company:** Apple Inc. - **Location:** Cupertino, CA, United States - **Salary:** $126,800.0 - $220,900.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Automation of Tests, Encodings, Software Debugging, Programming Tools, Firmware, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Reliability Engineering, Subsystems, System Programming, Virtual Memory, Scripting, Delivery Pipeline, Large Language Models, Prompt Engineering, Coreos - **Published:** May 21, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=ab0598b02ac41cb7 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Test Automation Development (Quality assurance practices)?, Experience applying ML or AI techniques to systems problems - crash clustering, log anomaly detection, failure classification, or intelligent alert prioritization Familiarity with LLMs or generative AI tooling in an engineering context - prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, or AI-assisted debugging workflows Prior coursework or project experience in OS internals, systems programming, or low-level debugging Familiarity with Apple platform internals: XNU kernel, Darwin subsystems, IOKit, libdispatch, or dyld Contributions to automation frameworks or developer tooling that improved engineering productivity Experience or interest in collaborating across silicon, firmware, or platform systems teams Enthusiasm for building tools and systems that empower other engineers Minimum Qualifications Working knowledge of C and/or Swift for debug tooling or system-level development Exposure to automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or scalable test systems Foundational understanding of OS internals: process and thread lifecycle, virtual memory, scheduling, synchronization, and system calls Ability to read and reason through crash reports and kernel panics - backtraces, register state, and basic memory analysis Hands-on experience with debugging tools such as LLDB, GDB, or Instruments Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, and test infrastructure ## Description We are looking for a curious and motivated Software Engineer with a passion for OS internals, automation, and intelligent systems. The impact of this role is broad and direct - your investigations will uncover failures affecting Apple's entire device ecosystem, your contributions will touch software running across iPhone, Mac, and Apple Silicon, and the automation pipelines you help build will shape how reliability engineering scales across Apple. You will dig into the operating system to understand the true origin of crashes and panics - not just the symptom at the top of a stack trace, but the underlying system-level conditions that caused it. You will operationalize that understanding by encoding triage logic into automation pipelines, and explore how ML and AI techniques can make those pipelines smarter over time. You will collaborate across Software, Hardware, and Silicon teams to drive issues all the way to resolution. This role is a strong fit for an engineer who is eager to learn how operating systems work at a deep level, excited to build scalable automation and intelligent tooling, and motivated by seeing their work have real, measurable impact.","responsibilities":"Triage crashes and panics across Apple's OS stack by analyzing crash logs, kernel panics, and core dumps to isolate root cause Collaborate with Software, Hardware, and Silicon teams to propose fixes, close coverage gaps, and drive issues to resolution Encode triage logic into automation pipelines so future instances are classified and escalated without manual intervention ## Related Videos - [Xcode development redefAIned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100195-xcode-development-redefained) - [A Brief History of Data Storage](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/974-a-brief-history-of-data-storage) - [Operating etcd for Managed Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1191-operating-etcd-for-managed-kubernetes) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Harnessing Apple Intelligence: Live Coding with Swift for iOS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1515-harnessing-apple-intelligence-live-coding-with-swift-for-ios) - [JSON and Beyond](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/968-json-and-beyond) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 118 - not a total recall](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/452-dev-digest-118-not-a-total-recall) - [Dev Digest 150 - The shift to AI generated code, fingerprinting and OKRs vs. doing your job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/533-dev-digest-150-the-shift-to-ai-generated-code-fingerprinting-and-okrs-vs-doing-your-job) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss)
