Position Summary

We are seeking a Full-Stack Engineer (macOS) with a strong quality-first mindset to design, develop, test, and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable software solutions.

• Collaborate with architects and developers to define technical requirements, test requirements, acceptance criteria, and quality gates.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code in C++, Python, or other relevant languages across the stack.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, system, regression) as part of normal development work.
• Integrate security features and ensure compliance with secure coding and secure testing standards.
• Perform code reviews, test reviews, debugging, and root-cause analysis to ensure high-quality deliverables.
• Improve test coverage, testability, and automation effectiveness.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by embedding testing, validation, and quality checks.
• Stay up to date with macOS platform changes, emerging technologies, and evolving security threats.
• Contribute to technical documentation, test plans, and engineering best practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid experience as a full-stack or systems engineer, with hands-on development experience on macOS or Linux platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C++ or Python, with experience building reliable and testable systems.
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, design patterns, and quality engineering principles.
• Strong testing experience, including:
• Automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end)
• Test design, test strategy, and defect analysis
• Designing for testability
• Experience with Agile development, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Background in security engineering, threat modeling, or secure coding/testing is a plus.
• Experience with cloud environments, microservices, and databases (SQL/NoSQL) is a plus.
• Familiarity with AI-driven or AI-assisted software development is a plus.
