Imagine a role where you could use your knowledge and skills to have a broader impact than anywhere else, and where you could make your own dent in the universe. Apple’s Sales Engineering teams build the systems that enable any potential customer to have the greatest store experience, wherever they are in the world, and ensure that anyone selling Apple devices can do their best work supporting clients. If you’re interested in understanding how things operate at scale — across hundreds of thousands of points of sale — and how the Apple experience is delivered globally, this role might be for you.
Description
As an Early Careers SDET in Sales Engineering, you will help ensure the quality of applications and services used by our channel partners, in Apple Stores, and by internal teams across the business. Our main products include DCOTA (Digital Content Over The Air), which manages over 1.4 million devices in our partners’ stores, and StoreFront, the go-to app for partner staff to manage their stores — covering marketing campaigns, fulfilment, ticketing, and support. You will work across our full stack — testing backend APIs, web frontends, and native iOS applications — with a focus on making smart decisions about what to automate and what to validate manually. Working alongside senior SDETs and software engineers, you will help the team move from repetitive manual testing toward intelligent, maintainable automation, while ensuring nothing ships without the right level of confidence. We value engineers who see AI as a natural part of modern quality engineering — someone who thinks about how to generate test cases from specifications, automate UI and API tests from well-defined test documents, and continuously improve how the team validates software.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
