About the Role
This is a founding-team opportunity to join the macOS DevOps function at an early-stage AI messaging infrastructure startup, working on-site in San Francisco. You'll build, operate, and scale macOS data center infrastructure that powers production AI agent workflows — keeping developer pipelines and production systems highly reliable and performant.
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 end-to-end.
-
Ensure system reliability, performance, and scalability across production environments.
-
Troubleshoot and resolve systems and infrastructure issues under production conditions.
-
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to support development and production workflows.
-
Drive continuous improvement in DevOps practices and operational excellence.
What We're Looking For
-
Demonstrated experience in macOS DevOps, building and delivering production macOS data center infrastructure (roughly 3–10 years of relevant experience).
-
Strong proficiency in Swift — this is a hard requirement.
-
Solid experience with shell scripting (bash/zsh) and infrastructure automation.
-
Deep knowledge of DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, deployment, and infrastructure management.
-
macOS systems administration at scale — installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
-
Strong systems-level debugging and problem-solving skills.
-
Familiarity with Linux environments and tooling.
-
Understanding of networking concepts, system performance tuning, and reliability engineering.
-
Bonus: experience managing macOS fleets or data center environments, familiarity with MDM tools (e.g., Jamf), knowledge of low-level macOS internals or system frameworks, or experience with Rust or Objective-C.
