[OpenNash Jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/) / [Apple](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/) / Distinguished Engineer – Quality Engineering & Performance, Wallet, Payments & Commerce

## Job description

At Apple, we don’t treat quality and performance as validation steps — we engineer them into the fabric of our systems. Within Wallet, Payments & Commerce (WPC), our platforms power Apple Pay, Apple Cash, Tap to Pay on iPhone, Installments, Connected Accounts, and global payment processing infrastructure serving millions of users and processing billions of transactions. We are seeking a Distinguished Engineer to define and lead the end-to-end Quality Engineering and Performance strategy for Apple’s financial services ecosystem.

This role is responsible for architecting systemic reliability, scalability, resilience, and measurable engineering excellence across one of the most critical and regulated platforms at Apple. This is not a test leadership role. This is a platform-defining technical authority role reporting to the head of Quality & Performance software engineering team.
