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.
