About the role

Staff Engineer leading Device Infrastructure Services with a focus on transitioning to a GitOps/DevOps-based, AI-enabled operations model for ~2,000 endpoints; hands-on leadership, roadmap ownership, and cross-team collaboration in a remote, US/Canada-based role.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical direction of our Device Infrastructure Services, the tooling and standards that keep ~2,000 endpoints compliant, configured, and secure.
  • Drive the technical direction of a DevOps operating model for the fleet — config-as-code, version control, code review, and CI/CD pipelines in place of manual console changes — and drive adoption of that model across the IT team.
  • Lead the adoption of responsible agentic AI across the device team, building the guardrails that decide what agents can act on autonomously and what still needs a human checkpoint.
  • Act as the final escalation point for high-severity endpoint incidents, including deep machine-level diagnosis on both macOS and Windows hardware.
  • Partner across IT, Security, and product teams building custom solutions and helping push their initiatives across the finish line.
  • Assess and pilot new tooling (e.g., MDM platform migrations, patch management systems) and drive build-vs-buy decisions.
  • Collaborate with product teams to advise on features from the perspective of a real-world enterprise device deployment, and lead Customer Zero initiatives — piloting and stress-testing our own product against our internal fleet before it reaches customers.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of IT and enterprise endpoint management experience, including 2+ years at a senior or staff IC level, with a track record of building and managing endpoints with Gitops practices.
  • Broad knowledge of enterprise endpoint management, deep operating system-level experience, and ability to recognize patterns across a fleet and build fixes that prevent recurrence.
  • Practical experience using AI tools to enable or accelerate IT operations and the judgment to know where AI speeds things up versus where it introduces risk.
  • Proven ability to define and drive technical roadmaps, balancing long-term vision with near-term execution.
  • Strong scripting and IaC ability (Bash, Python, and Terraform at minimum) — both writing production-quality automation and reviewing others' code.
  • Deep working knowledge of enterprise security fundamentals as they apply to endpoints: encryption, patch/vulnerability management, EDR, least-privilege enforcement, and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar).
  • Lead through change, collaborate effectively, and mentor engineers while maintaining a focused and impactful team environment.
