What You'll Do Maintain and operate macOS data center infrastructure at scale. Build and continuously improve automation, deployment, and monitoring systems. Develop automation tooling using Swift and shell scripting (bash/zsh). Manage CI/CD pipelines and developer infrastructure. Ensure high levels of system reliability, performance, and scalability.

Familiarity with Linux systems and tooling. Understanding of networking concepts, system performance tuning, and reliability engineering. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills at the systems level. Ability to write clean, maintainable, and reliable automation code. Nice to Have: Experience managing macOS fleets or data center environments. Familiarity with MDM management tools (e.g., Jamf). Knowledge of low-level macOS internals or system frameworks. Experience with Rust or Objective-C.
