• Develop and maintain technical documentation, engineering standards, troubleshooting procedures, runbooks, and knowledge articles.

• Transfer knowledge to service desk, second-level support, and managed service providers so repeatable issues can be resolved at the appropriate support level.

• Identify opportunities to reduce Mac technical debt, eliminate manual processes, increase automation, and improve the employee technology experience.

Advanced Technical Escalation Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot complex macOS and device-management issues that cannot be effectively resolved by frontline or second-level support.

• Investigate difficult application failures, enrollment problems, authentication issues, configuration problems, performance issues, and device-management failures.

• Identify patterns across escalated incidents and determine whether the underlying cause requires an engineering or platform-level correction.

• Work directly with affected employees when advanced technical troubleshooting is necessary.

• Engage Apple, JAMF, software vendors, or other technology providers when vendor-level escalation is required.

• Document resolutions and create knowledge that allows recurring issues to be resolved at the appropriate support level.

• Recommend platform, configuration, automation, or process improvements based on trends identified through escalations.

Application Deployment & Automation

• Packaging, testing, and deploying macOS applications.

• Developing and maintaining installation and uninstall processes, scripts, policies, and deployment logic.

• Troubleshooting failed or inconsistent application deployments.

• Supporting application upgrades and version lifecycle management.
