Job Description
About the Role
We’re a venture-backed AI messaging infrastructure startup building production-grade systems that power AI agents across popular messaging platforms. As a founding macOS DevOps Engineer (mid-level Member of Technical Staff), you’ll be a core member of a small, high-impact team responsible for building, operating, and scaling macOS data center infrastructure in San Francisco.
This is an on-site, founding-team role — you’ll have significant ownership over the reliability, automation, and operational excellence of systems that developers and production workloads depend on every day.
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.
- Ensure high levels of system reliability, performance, and scalability.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex systems and infrastructure issues.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to support development and production workflows.
- Drive improvements in DevOps practices and operational excellence across the organization.
What We’re Looking For
Required:
- Proven experience in macOS DevOps — building and delivering production macOS data center infrastructure.
- Strong proficiency in Swift (required; this is a dealbreaker).
- Solid experience with shell scripting (bash/zsh) and infrastructure automation.
- Strong knowledge of DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, deployment, and infrastructure management.
- macOS systems administration at scale — installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with Linux systems and tooling.
- Understanding of networking concepts, system performance tuning, and reliability engineering.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills at the systems level.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, and reliable automation code.
Nice to Have:
- Experience managing macOS fleets or data center environments.
- Familiarity with MDM management tools (e.g., Jamf).
- Knowledge of low-level macOS internals or system frameworks.
- Experience with Rust or Objective-C.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $150,000 – $200,000 USD annually
- Early-stage equity as a founding team member
- Visa sponsorship: Not available
