About the position

At Jamf, people are at the core of everything we do. We do what's right for our customers, our employees, our communities, and our world. We take pride in simplifying technology for tens of thousands of customers around the globe and helping organizations succeed with Apple. In this role, the Senior Cloud Engineer is responsible for automation and development of our backend infrastructure that powers the Jamf Cloud, which our customers rely on to manage Apple devices in their organizations. This includes providing the internal infrastructure that our Software Development Engineers use to build and deploy Jamf products in the Cloud. In this position, you will develop, deploy, and maintain production environments by identifying and applying automation, tools, and techniques such as infrastructure as code, configuration as code, serverless, and containerization. You will ensure security best practices are identified and integrated into system designs and configurations. Additionally, you will assist in evaluating, planning, configuration, and implementation of new software services, develop custom tools and automation through programming and scripting, and support software development by maintaining and scaling our continuous integration and continuous delivery environment as needed. You will also apply data lifecycle management to sensitive data through backups, permissions management, and auditing. Participation in an on-call rotation, triaging and escalating alerts, and assisting in disaster recovery as necessary for services the team is responsible for will be part of your responsibilities. As a member of an Agile team, you will provide code reviews, velocity estimation, planning input, and participate in other Agile methodology workflows. Effective communication with product owners, development teams, and cloud and delivery teams is essential, as is creating and maintaining technical documentation. You will also be responsible for setting technical direction for team responsibilities and cross-training other staff members on new technologies, with the ability to delegate tasks and mentor others.
