on our Mac laptop and corporate iPhone fleet. Your responsibilities will include
ensuring that these endpoints are optimally set up for a variety of use cases,
including advanced security configurations, seamless software deployments, and

installers
Customize and streamline the deployment of endpoints tailored to diverse user
stories
Collaborate closely with our enterprise security team to ensure all devices
comply with the latest security standards and company policies
Lead initiatives to move towards a collaborative endpoint management
program through the use of source control
You may be a fit for this role if you have:
Deep technical mastery of MacOS and iOS environments, with substantial
experience managing these systems at scale within a hyper-growth company.
You should be adept at handling rapid changes in infrastructure and user
needs.
Advanced scripting skills in Python and Bash, with proven ability to automate
processes, develop tools, and integrate systems that significantly improve
operational efficiency and user experiences.
Extensive experience with MDM solutions, particularly Jamf Pro, ensuring
comprehensive management, security, and compliance of MacOS and iOS
devices.
Expertise in deploying and managing large fleets of Macs and iOS devices, with
a strong understanding of network configurations, security protocols, and
troubleshooting practices in large-scale environments.
Demonstrated capability in source control tools and practices, contributing to
a collaborative endpoint management program that aligns with modern
DevOps and agile methodologies.
Experience in implementing zero-touch setup processes for endpoints,
streamlining device deployment, and maintenance without compromising
security or user productivity.
Proficiency in creating robust patch policies and custom application installers
that meet the stringent requirements of a fast-paced, security-conscious
organization.
