What You Will Do
Test macOS security features that span across system extensions, Endpoint Security, and Network Extension frameworks
Design and execute manual test plans for system extensions, inter-process communications (XPC), and low-level OS integration points
Explore and document edge cases, race conditions, compatibility scenarios, and regressions across macOS versions
Reproduce and isolate complex issues related to sandboxing, SIP/TCC interactions, launch services, and daemon behaviors
Work directly with development, support, product, and automation teams to triage, verify, and regress bugs and compatibility issues
Validate interactions between the company and third‑party macOS apps and services
Collaborate with SDETs to turn exploratory and regression cases into automation candidates
Maintain deep familiarity with changes in macOS releases and how they might impact functionality and compatibility
Requirements
5+ years in QA for macOS applications, with a focus on security, system-level, or compatibility testing
Strong understanding of macOS internals: System Extensions, Endpoint Security, XPC, TCC, SIP, Launch Services, file systems, etc
Familiarity with macOS diagnostic and monitoring tools (e.g., Console, Activity Monitor, Instruments, fs_usage, dtrace, tcpdump, lldb)
Experience testing low-level products (VPNs, endpoint security, antivirus, etc.)
Ability to read crash reports, debug logs, and identify root causes
Ability to work independently and deeply investigate issues before escalating
Excellent written communication for clear test case documentation and bug reports
