Endpoint Management (Jamf & Intune):

• Own the end-to-end Jamf Pro environment—enrollment workflows, configuration profiles, patch management, App Catalog, Self Service, and macOS compliance baselines.

• Manage and mature Microsoft Intune for the Windows fleet: device enrollment, compliance policies, application deployment, and conditional access integration.

• Design and enforce endpoint compliance frameworks (CIS benchmarks, encryption, OS patching) across macOS and Windows.

• Lead the evaluation and implementation of Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solutions, ensuring seamless integration with MDM.

• Build automated onboarding and offboarding workflows for endpoints, integrating with Okta and employee lifecycle tooling.

Endpoint & Network Security:

• Drive endpoint security posture: disk encryption enforcement, firewall policies, secure boot configurations, and application allowlisting/blocklisting.

• Contribute to Zero Trust network architecture: VPN management and migration strategy, DNS security (DNS filtering, DoH/DoT), and secure remote access.

• Hands-on experience with Network Security tools like Palo Alto Prisma, Twingate, Cloudflare, etc.

• Collaborate with SRE/Infrastructure teams on network segmentation, firewall rules, and security monitoring.

Cloud Infrastructure & Access Governance:

• Assist in cloud infrastructure operations across AWS/GCP, including IAM policy reviews, SSO integrations, and access governance.

• Support the design and implementation of Zero Trust access controls for production and customer cloud environments.

• Partner with IT and security to ensure MDM-to-IdP integration is robust, enabling device trust as a factor in conditional access policies.

Automation & Self-Service IT:

• Automate repetitive IT workflows using scripting (Bash, Python, PowerShell) and low-code/no-code platforms.

• Build dashboards and reporting for endpoint health, compliance posture, and SLA metrics.

Strategic & Cross-Functional Leadership:

• Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for endpoint engineering within the IT/Systems Engineering function.

• Build scalable endpoint architecture aligned with the company’s growth trajectory toward 800–1,000 employees.

• Document standards, architectures, runbooks, and processes for internal enablement.

• Mentor junior team members as the Systems Engineering function expands.

What makes you a great match for us? 😍

• 4+ years in IT Systems/Endpoint Engineering with experience across endpoint management, security, cloud infrastructure, and networking.

• Solid experience with Microsoft Intune—device enrollment, compliance policies, conditional access, and application deployment.

• Strong understanding of macOS internals, the Apple MDM framework, and Windows endpoint management.

• Conceptual and practical understanding of Zero Trust, endpoint compliance frameworks, and CIS benchmarks.

• Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or GCP): IAM, networking, security groups, and access governance.

• Hands-on experience with network security fundamentals: VPN (WireGuard, IPSec, or ZTNA solutions), DNS security, and firewall management.

• Strong scripting skills in at least two of: Bash, Python, PowerShell, or Swift/AppleScript.

• Experience integrating MDM with Identity Providers (Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID) for device trust and conditional access.

• Exposure to EDR platforms (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) is a strong plus.

• Strong project leadership: runbooks, testing/rollback plans, stakeholder comms, phased rollouts.

• Security-first mindset with excellent documentation and cross-functional collaboration skills.
