About the Job Field AI is looking for a senior hands-on IT infrastructure engineer to own the systems that keep a robotics engineering organization secure and productive: macOS/Linux endpoints, identity, SaaS access, office/lab networking, and endpoint security.
This role is ideal for someone who has operated in fast-moving startup environments, enjoys building durable systems from imperfect starting points, and can move between strategic design and hands-on troubleshooting.
Own the full lifecycle of our macOS and Linux endpoint fleet through JumpCloud MDM, enrollment, configuration, application deployment, patch management, and compliance enforcement.
Define and maintain the golden configurations every new device is built from.
Design and configure network infrastructure, perform maintenance and upgrades, and provide deep-dive troubleshooting from layer 1 through layer 7.
Endpoint Fleet Management: Own the full lifecycle of our macOS and Linux endpoint fleet through JumpCloud MDM, enrollment, configuration, application deployment, patch management, and compliance enforcement.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.

Working experience with CrowdStrike Falcon or a comparable EDR/XDR platform - sensor deployment, policy configuration, detection tuning, and incident triage.
