Serve as the escalation tier for complex endpoint issues—troubleshoot deep macOS, hardware, networking, or software issues and act as a knowledge source for IT Support
Mentor junior engineers—share expertise, set best practices, and help elevate the team’s Jamf, scripting, and automation capabilities
Explore and evaluate new endpoint-management and automation technologies, run POCs, and recommend adoption to improve platform efficiency, security, and user experience
