What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end delivery and reliability of third-party application packages across Windows and macOS, from installer analysis and automated validation to production patching
- Ship applications while continuously improving the automation behind the catalog
- Diagnose failed installs from logs, exit codes and metadata, on devices you can't access
- Maintain packages in public repositories (winget-pkgs, Chocolatey Community, Homebrew Cask, AutoPkg)
What we're looking for
- 5+ years as a systems administrator, endpoint engineer or similar, including at least 2 years packaging and deploying software at scale (Intune, SCCM/ConfigMgr, Jamf, Munki, Chocolatey, winget or similar)
- Hands-on Windows packaging: MSI, EXE and MSIX installers, silent switches, detection rules, per-user vs. per-machine installs, x64/arm64
- Hands-on macOS packaging: PKG and DMG, app bundles and bundle IDs, universal vs. architecture-specific builds
- Solid PowerShell and Bash: you can read and fix someone else's installer wrapper
- Experience automating deployments through pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or similar), not only through a management console
- You already work with AI agents: you delegate tasks to them, and you review, validate and correct what they produce. This is non-negotiable
- Comfortable reading TypeScript and YAML well enough to spot what's wrong in an agent-generated change. You don't need to be a developer
- Strong written English for an async-first team
Nice to have
- Python or Go, AWS, vulnerability/CVE data, VM-based install testing
Benefits
- 100% Remote
- USD above-average salaries
- Profit Sharing Policy
- Unlimited PTOs after your first year (20 PTOs the first year)
- Equipment for your setup
- Great work/life balance
- Honest, simple, and transparent culture
- US-based clients and international teams
