- Advanced Scripting & Automation: Develop, test, and maintain robust code repositories (PowerShell for Windows; Bash/Zsh/Python for macOS) to automate complex administrative tasks, custom reporting, and API integrations.
- Security & Compliance Governance: Partner closely with the Security team to engineer and enforce endpoint security baselines (e.g., CIS Benchmarks), disk encryption protocols (BitLocker, FileVault), and EDR/antivirus agent deployments.
- Identity & Access Architecture: Lead the integration of endpoint platforms with enterprise identity and access management (IAM) systems (e.g., Entra ID, Okta), including modern single sign-on (SSO) extensions.
- Tier 3/4 Escalation & Mentorship: Act as the highest tier of technical escalation for complex endpoint, OS, and software issues. Provide mentorship, guidance, and technical training to Tier 1/2 service desk and junior systems administrators.
- Roadmapping & Documentation: Maintain a forward-looking roadmap for endpoint technologies, evaluate emerging tools, and author authoritative architectural diagrams and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Experience: 5–8+ years of dedicated experience in endpoint engineering, systems administration, or infrastructure architecture within an enterprise environment.
- Dual-Platform Mastery: Comprehensive, expert-level knowledge of both Windows and macOS operating systems, system internals, and enterprise deployment methodologies.
- Enterprise Tooling Expertise: Deep hands-on engineering experience configuring and managing Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, and Workspace ONE at scale.
- Advanced Scripting: Strong proficiency in PowerShell and Bash/Zsh (Python or Swift is a significant plus) for advanced automation, custom scripts, and utilizing MDM APIs.
- Leadership & Communication: Proven ability to lead projects independently, collaborate across multi-functional engineering teams, and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
