Job Description

Remote Apple Software QA Tester (x5)

A Quick Snapshot of the Role

Ever wanted to be part of a team that makes sure Apple software works—smooth, fast, and without annoying bugs? That’s exactly what this job is about. We’re looking for five Remote Apple Software QA Testers who can help us keep apps sharp and user-friendly. It’s fully remote, so you’ll do your best work from home (or your favorite coffee spot). And yes, the annual salary is $119,074.

Forget spreadsheets and mindless scripts—this job’s about real people using Apple devices. From iOS application testing to macOS functionality testing, you’ll touch every part of the Apple experience.

Why This Role Feels Different

You know how some QA jobs feel repetitive? Test case. Write a report. Repeat. Here, your feedback truly matters. Developers listen. Designers adjust. And users feel the difference.

Instead of just checking boxes, we run apps the way real users do—scrolling too fast, swiping between screens, or closing mid-task. That’s what we care about.

And because it’s remote, you’ll avoid the commute, but we won’t let you feel isolated. Weekly huddles, daily check-ins when needed, and lots of screenshots and test stories flying around. Honestly, it’s fun.

Daily QA Testing Work You’ll Own

Let’s get real. Your day won’t always look the same. Some days, you’ll design and test cases on a fresh iOS feature. Other days, you’ll dig into remote software defect tracking, chasing down that tiny glitch nobody can explain.

Here’s what it usually involves:

• Jumping into remote mobile app bug reporting right after a new build is out. Bottom line: you’ll catch bugs before users do.
• Running cross-device Apple compatibility testing is crucial, as what works on an iPhone 15 Pro might not work on an older iPad. Bottom line: you’ll keep apps consistent across devices.
• We use automated testing tools for Apple apps to ensure we don’t miss edge cases. Bottom line: smarter testing saves time.
• Double-checking fixes with regression testing for iOS and macOS. Bottom line: old bugs stay gone.
• Assisting with remote beta testing coordination, ensuring outside testers are aware of what to look for. Bottom line: smooth betas mean better launches.

Every little detail adds up to the big picture: end-to-end software quality validation.

QA Testing Tools You’ll Use

We’re not strict about tools. What matters is getting the job done. But to give you an idea:

• Jira for remote software defect tracking
• Xcode and TestFlight for iOS application testing
• Virtual machines and device farms for a virtual QA testing environment
• Automation frameworks like XCTest or Appium for automated testing of Apple apps

And honestly? A sticky note and a coffee-fueled chat with a teammate often beats any fancy tool.

What Success Looks Like

Success here isn’t about finding the most bugs. It’s about spotting the ones that actually matter. You’ll know you’re winning when:

• The dev team thanks you for catching a subtle issue before release.
• A beta tester reports smooth sailing after your Apple user experience validation run.
• Customers use the app without even realizing how much effort went into making it seamless.

We celebrate those moments. Small wins, significant impact.

Skills Every Apple QA Tester Needs

No sugarcoating—this job takes sharp eyes and a lot of patience. But it’s not all about hard skills. Here’s what really counts:

• Attention to detail: You’ll notice things others overlook.
• Curiosity: Why did that crash happen only when someone used AirDrop? You’ll dig until you know.
• Empathy: You’ll think like the user, not just like a tester.
• Adaptability: One week it’s about mobile performance testing specialist work, the next it’s full-on macOS functionality testing.

If you’ve ever been the friend who says, “Wait, this button doesn’t work right,” you’ll fit in here.

Remote QA Workflow and Team Culture

Remote work isn’t only about pajamas—though yes, that perk’s real. We also built a structure:

• Clear schedules for Apple development lifecycle support.
• Open Slack channels for fast bug chats.
• Video calls where we hash things out instead of writing endless docs.

Ever felt that remote work can get lonely? We get it. That’s why we’ve got casual hangouts too. Friday trivia, coffee chats, and even sharing photos of our pets. Keeps the vibe alive.

A Real Example From Our Team

Last month, Jordan (one of our testers) caught a bug where the iOS app froze only when someone tried to multitask between FaceTime and our app. Developers had missed it. Jordan’s quick testing saved us from rolling out a public embarrassment. We fixed it in a day. That’s the kind of impact you’ll have.

Growth and Learning Along the Way

We see QA as a career path, not a stepping stone. You’ll get chances to:

• Explore automation deeply—become the go-to mobile performance testing specialist.
• Lead sessions in remote beta testing coordination.
• Mentor new testers as we grow the team.

We’ve had people move from testing into product roles, automation specialists, and even design advisors. Because who knows better about user experience than someone who’s validated it through Apple user experience validation?

What We’re Hoping You Bring

We’re not about checklists, but here are the basics that’ll help:

• Solid background in Apple software quality assurance
• Experience with both manual and automated testing for Apple apps
• Comfort switching between iOS and macOS functionality testing
• Strong communication for reporting and remote mobile app bug reporting
• A sense of humor—because bugs can get frustrating, and laughter helps

Wondering About Pay?

Let’s be upfront: you’ll make $119,074 annually. We believe in fair, transparent pay. No games.

But money isn’t everything. You’ll also get flexibility, the freedom to shape your day, and the joy of seeing your work directly improve apps used by thousands.

A Day in the Life (Picture It)

You start with a quick morning sync. Everyone shares what they’re testing. You grab coffee, then dive into a new build. A few hours later, you’re deep into regression testing for iOS and macOS. You spot a bug, write it up in Jira, and ping the dev. Afternoon? Maybe you’re helping with cross-device Apple compatibility testing, juggling an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook side by side. At the end of the day, you close your laptop knowing you caught something important.

Feels good, right?

Culture—How We Work Together

Culture here isn’t just words. It’s how we treat each other. Respect, trust, and honesty drive everything. We celebrate wins together, and when something breaks, we fix it together—no blame games.

We’re curious too. If someone finds a clever way to speed up end-to-end software quality validation, we share it. Knowledge isn’t kept in silos. That’s how we keep improving.

Why This Apple QA Tester Role Stands Out

At the end of the day, this role is about making Apple apps better for real people. Your fingerprints will be all over apps that users rely on every single day. And while you’re doing that, you’ll grow your skills, earn great pay, and stay connected in a supportive remote team.

Ready to step up? This is where your eye for detail, your knack for problem-solving, and your drive to make things better will actually matter. Let’s make Apple software smoother, faster, and more reliable—together.
