Senior Systems Engineer at Chime (Chicago, Illinois)

Chime is a fintech company offering banking services and personal loans to millions of members. Every Chimer’s laptop is a door into our systems, and you’d own the platform that decides whether that door opens. We’re looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to take the reins on our macOS fleet — Jamf Pro, AutoPkg, zero-touch provisioning — and to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Security on device trust, so posture checks happen before anyone touches corporate data.

Key responsibilities

• Configuration profiles, smart groups, policies, MDM commands, and the change standards that keep it all sane —
• Run the AutoPkg pipeline that gets software onto the fleet: recipes, overrides, trust verification, automated import into Jamf, plus packaging
• Make day one work for new Chimers through zero-touch provisioning and enrollment (ADE, Setup Assistant
• Leverage AI and automation tools to accelerate script development, troubleshoot complex endpoint issues, and scale operational workflows
• Write the scripts and integrations (Python, Swift, Bash, Go, plus vendor APIs) that delete manual IT work —
• Partner with Security to push our Zero Trust model forward, wiring device posture into Okta so device health is a real factor in authentication

Requirements

• 8+ years managing macOS at scale with an enterprise MDM (Jamf Pro, Kandji, Mosyle) and/or open-source tooling (Munki, Puppet, Chef)
• Building and operating recipes, overrides, trust controls, and automated promotion into an MDM
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development and prompt engineering to drive efficiency in automation, documentation, and troubleshooting
• Deep knowledge of Apple’s MDM protocol and Configuration Profile specs, including where Declarative Device Management is taking things
• Installers and packages, LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents, the preferences subsystem, system extensions
• Fluency in at least one scripting or general-purpose language (Python, Swift, Bash, Go) for automation and API work

Location and schedule

• Onsite in Chicago, Illinois
