Senior Compute Engineer (Apple Platforms and Automation)

CVS Health•Farmers Branch, TX

4d•$92,700 - $185,400•Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking a collaborative, high-level Endpoint Engineer to own the strategy, engineering, and automation of our Apple ecosystem (macOS and iOS). You will go beyond standard MDM management to build a modern, frictionless, and secure "Mac-first" experience. This role is perfect for a subject matter expert who treats endpoint management as a software engineering challenge—leveraging APIs, scripting, and emerging AI tools to bridge gaps between Jamf and our broader enterprise stack. NOTE: This is a hybrid position based in our Farmer's Branch (Dallas, TX) office, in which the expectation will be to be able to work from the office a minimum of 5 days a month.

Requirements

5+ years of experience engineering Apple product solutions in a global enterprise (1,000+ endpoints).
2+ years experience with Jamf Pro (Jamf 300/400 certification is a huge plus).
Familiarity with Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect is strongly preferred.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to bridge the gap between deep technical engineering and executive-level strategy.

Nice To Haves

Experience building custom AI Agents or using GitHub Copilot/OpenAI to accelerate IT automation tasks.
Expert knowledge of macOS packaging formats (.pkg, .dmg) and deployment tools (Composer, Jamf Admin, AutoPkg).
High proficiency in Zsh/Bash and Python.
You should be comfortable interacting with the Jamf Pro API and Classic API.
Strong understanding of Apple Business Manager (ABM), SSO extensions, and Identity Providers (IdP).
Experience with Swift for creating custom macOS UI/UX elements (onboarding screens, etc.).
Knowledge of Declarative Device Management (DDM) and the future of Apple’s management framework.
Linux experience a plus

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary architect for macOS and iOS/iPadOS, managing the full lifecycle of hardware from zero-touch provisioning (DEP/ADE) to decommission.
Lead the configuration and optimization of Jamf Pro, including the development of advanced extension attributes, smart groups, and complex policy scoping.
Architect and manage the global deployment of software. This includes advanced custom packaging (using Composer, Packages, or Munki), maintaining a self-service catalog, and engineering automated patch management workflows to ensure a secure and current software fleet.
Design and maintain integrations between Jamf Pro and external tools (e.g., ServiceNow, Slack, Okta, or internal dashboards) using RESTful APIs and webhooks to automate manual workflows.
Research and implement AI/LLM-assisted workflows for proactive support, automated script generation, and log analysis to improve fleet health and user experience.
Maintain and version-control all endpoint scripts and configurations (Shell, Swift, or Python) to ensure a scalable and reproducible environment.
Act as the subject matter expert for the Apple platform. You must be comfortable presenting to executive leadership, translating complex technical roadmaps into business-value narratives, and providing data-driven recommendations for future spend and security posture.
Partner with Security teams to enforce zScaler policies, FileVault, Gatekeeper, and compliance baselines (CIS/NIST) without compromising the "Apple-native" user experience.
