• Architect & Build: Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable solutions within multiple IT systems (e.g. Jamf, Intune, Okta, Jira, Google Workspace)

• Solve Complex Problems: Lead troubleshooting efforts for complex, multi-system issues, performing thorough root cause analysis to implement fixes that prevent recurrence.

• Drive Improvement: Proactively identify performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and single points of failure, and design automated solutions to remediate them.

• Own Key Projects: Take complete ownership of the project lifecycle for key initiatives, from initial design and planning through to deployment, monitoring, and post-launch support.

• Mentor & Collaborate: Formally mentor junior engineers to elevate the team's skillset, and act as a technical representative for the team in cross-functional discussions to ensure alignment and drive sound decisions.

• Establish Best Practices: Help define and document team standards for engineering excellence, testing, and operational readiness.

• Hands-on experience developing robust automation and integrations using scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash).

• Deep practical knowledge of modern IAM principles.

• Extensive experience managing a hybrid fleet of macOS endpoints at scale. You can engineer and enforce security baselines (CIS or similar), configuration profiles, and zero-touch deployment for a globally distributed and remote workforce using JAMF Pro.

• A security-first approach demonstrated through technical application. You have hands-on experience implementing and managing security controls and platforms.

• Ability to architect durable and scalable systems by evaluating, testing, and recommending emerging technologies. You can create technical roadmaps, document design decisions, and clearly articulate the trade-offs between different solutions in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
