TL;DR · Manager, Client Platform Engineering

The Manager, Client Platform Engineering leads a globally distributed team responsible for the worldwide endpoint platform. This role involves owning the architecture and roadmap for macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile devices, including zero-touch provisioning, configuration-as-code, and application packaging. You will manage the release calendar for operating system updates, partner with InfoSec to harden security controls, and build an Endpoint Digital Employee Experience program to drive proactive remediation. Key technologies include Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, Ansible, and Fleet, alongside scripting in Bash, Python, Swift, or PowerShell. You will solve complex problems regarding fleet reliability, patch compliance, and device lifecycle management while serving as a senior technical escalation point. The role requires balancing long-term platform strategy with day-to-day operational support for a diverse global fleet.

What you'll do

  • Own the worldwide endpoint architecture and roadmap for macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile platforms.
  • Lead the release calendar and deployment ring strategy to deliver operating system and patch updates on time.
  • Administer and evolve the endpoint management stack using MDM, UEM, and declarative device management tools.
  • Manage the end-to-end mobile strategy for corporate-owned and BYOD devices across iOS and Android.
  • Build and operate the Endpoint Digital Employee Experience program to instrument the fleet and drive proactive remediation.
  • Partner with InfoSec to implement security controls, hardening baselines, and vulnerability remediation SLAs.
  • Build automation to reduce manual operations and ensure configuration-as-code practices across the fleet.
  • Hire, coach, and lead a globally distributed team of engineers to maintain technical excellence.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in end user computing, client platform engineering, or endpoint engineering.
  • 3+ years of experience hiring and leading engineers.
  • Proven experience owning a fleet of several thousand endpoints across multiple countries and time zones.
  • Hands-on depth in managing macOS (Jamf, Intune, etc.), Windows 11 (Autopilot, Autopatch), and Linux (Ansible, Fleet) as code.
  • Experience with mobile management models including MDM for corporate devices and MAM/app protection for BYOD.
  • Scripting skills in Bash, Python, Swift, or PowerShell with comfort in Git-based workflows.
  • Jamf Certified Expert, Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate, or equivalent certification (preferred).
