-
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.
-
Troubleshoot and resolve complex systems and infrastructure issues.

-
macOS systems administration at scale — installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.

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:
