Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Mac Engineer to join our End-User Computing team, responsible for the design, delivery, and operational support of enterprise macOS services.

You will play a pivotal role in architecting and maintaining a secure, automated, and user-focused Apple environment — leveraging your expertise in Jamf Pro, scripting, and automation to deliver consistent, high-quality device experiences across the organisation.

This role blends technical engineering, solution design, and hands-on support — ideal for an individual passionate about automation, efficiency, and delivering enterprise-grade Apple solutions at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement macOS configurations and policies using Jamf Pro, ensuring compliance, performance, and user experience.
Deliver technical solutions for onboarding, provisioning, software deployment, and patch management of Apple devices.
Develop and maintain automation scripts using Bash and the Jamf API to streamline operations and improve reliability.
Collaborate with the Mac Product Owner and wider EUC team to translate requirements into technical designs and build plans.
Support the rollout and lifecycle management of macOS hardware and software, ensuring a stable and secure environment.
Provide Tier 3/engineering-level support for complex macOS issues escalated from service desks or field teams.
Implement security controls and configuration baselines in collaboration with InfoSec and Infrastructure teams.
Assist in testing and deployment of OS updates, configuration changes, and new Jamf features.
Maintain and document build procedures, workflows, and operational processes.
Contribute to continuous improvement, identifying areas for automation and service optimisation.

Required Skills & Experience

Jamf 300 certification (minimum); Jamf 400 desirable.
Proven experience designing, deploying, and supporting large-scale macOS environments in enterprise settings.
Bash scripting – able to build, debug, and maintain complex automation scripts.
Jamf API scripting – ability to integrate, automate, and extend Jamf workflows programmatically.
Experience with macOS deployment frameworks, MDM configuration profiles, and Apple security features (FileVault, Gatekeeper, SIP).
Enterprise experience managing 500+ Apple devices in regulated or security-conscious organisations.
Strong understanding of networking, identity management, and endpoint security concepts.
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, or version-controlled configuration management.

Desirable Skills

PSSO (Platform Security & Systems Operations) or similar security engineering experience.
Knowledge of Python, Swift, or PowerShell for cross-platform scripting.
Experience with Intune, Azure AD, or hybrid identity management for macOS.
Familiarity with Agile delivery and project-based implementations.
Understanding of Zero Touch Deployment (ZTD) and Apple Business Manager integration.
