You'll partner with engineering teams to shape how their services are measured, lead the work to improve them, and use what you learn from production to build the automation and agentic tooling that improves reliability globally. You'll work fluently with agentic development tools as part of your everyday practice, using them to move faster, to investigate harder problems and to multiply your impact. This is a senior individual contributor role at the intersection of Engineering, Product, Customer Success and Technical Support, where you'll play a meaningful part in shaping how we practice SRE at Jamf. You may be required to work periodically at a Jamf office or collaborative work location with other Jamf employees in your area for certain events or moments that matter.

Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, architecture notes, postmortems and proofs of concept for both technical and non-technical audiences, in a form that engineers and AI tools can re-use. Identify systemic sources of toil and lead the work to eliminate them through automation, AI agents, tooling, and process change. Set the conditions for AI agents to do reliable work in our environment, including repository context, well-specified tasks, integrations such as MCP servers that give AI safe access to the systems it needs, and the tests and guardrails needed for AI-authored change to be trusted.
