The Cloud File Providers team is looking for an experienced SDET to help build the future of File Sync on Apple devices. We are responsible for the FileProvider framework, a technology that powers file sync applications used by millions of people, like Google Drive and iCloud Drive, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
