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 DoMaintain 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.
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.
Salary: $150,000 – $200,000 USD annually
