• Deep understanding of macOS system internals, frameworks, filesystem structure, and software packaging formats (PKG, DMG, app bundles)
• Hands-on experience automating software packaging, deployment, or configuration workflows
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD automation
• Experience with API integrations (Jamf API, REST APIs)
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving abilities in macOS environments
• Ability to work cross-functionally and translate operational needs into automated solutions

Preferred Qualifications
