About the Role

We're a venture-backed AI messaging infrastructure startup building production-grade systems that power AI agents across popular messaging platforms. As a founding macOS DevOps Engineer (mid-level Member of Technical Staff), you'll be a core member of a small, high-impact team responsible for building, operating, and scaling macOS data center infrastructure in San Francisco.

This is an on-site, founding-team role - you'll have significant ownership over the reliability, automation, and operational excellence of systems that developers and production workloads depend on every day.

What You'll Do

  • Maintain and operate macOS data center infrastructure at scale.

  • Build and continuously improve automation, deployment, and monitoring systems.

  • Develop automation tooling using Swift and shell scripting (bash/zsh).

  • Manage CI/CD pipelines and developer infrastructure.

  • Ensure high levels of system reliability, performance, and scalability.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex systems and infrastructure issues.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to support development and production workflows.

  • Drive improvements in DevOps practices and operational excellence across the organization.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Proven experience in macOS DevOps - building and delivering production macOS data center infrastructure.

  • Strong proficiency in Swift (required; this is a dealbreaker).

  • Solid experience with shell scripting (bash/zsh) and infrastructure automation.

  • Strong knowledge of DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, deployment, and infrastructure management.

  • macOS systems administration at scale - installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.

  • Familiarity with Linux systems and tooling.

  • Understanding of networking concepts, system performance tuning, and reliability engineering.

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills at the systems level.

  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, and reliable automation code.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience managing macOS fleets or data center environments.

  • Familiarity with MDM management tools (e.g., Jamf).

  • Knowledge of low-level macOS internals or system frameworks.

  • Experience with Rust or Objective-C.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 USD annually

  • Early-stage equity as a founding team member

  • Visa sponsorship: Not available
