  • Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues, such as performance optimization, application errors, or operating system bugs, while maintaining compliance with government security protocols.
  • Apple Systems Engineering & MDM: Configure, deploy, and manage macOS devices using Enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions (e.g., Jamf Pro, VMware Workspace ONE) customized for military networks.
  • Cybersecurity & STIG Compliance: Apply, validate, and maintain Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) across all Apple hardware and software. Ensure strict adherence to DoW IL5 security protocols and data handling policies.
  • Serve as a dedicated technical advisor for leadership, ensuring discreet and timely IT issue resolution.
  • Deliver patient, professional, and polished customer service in every interaction.
  • Provide training and mentorship on best practices and new Apple platform capabilities tailored to the strategic needs of each executive customer.
  • Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Apple products in secure and hybrid operating environments, including classified and air-gapped networks, while adhering to security protocols.
  • Act as the subject-matter expert (SME) for macOS technologies within the broader IT team.

  • US Citizen and Current Secret clearance with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI
  • Expertise in macOS, iOS, and Apple ecosystem workflows and technologies (e.g., Apple ID, iCloud, FileVault, keychain management).
  • Familiarity with Apple MDM platforms (e.g., Jamf Pro, JAMF Connect) and zero-touch deployment/enrollment protocols.
  • Advanced troubleshooting skills for Apple hardware and software, including macOS kernel issues, file system encryption, and application errors.
  • Strong familiarity integrating macOS into enterprise IT landscapes, including Active Directory, Office 365, and VPN configurations.
  • Experience deploying Apple Security and Patch Management (T2/M1/M2 chips) in classified and air-gapped environments.
  • Knowledge of networking, storage, and remote connectivity solutions as relevant to macOS environments.
  • Superior verbal and written communication, customer service, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to maintain discretion and professionalism when supporting high-profile individuals with urgent IT needs.
  • Detail-oriented and excellent problem-solving abilities under tight deadlines.
  • Capable of working independently or within a cross-functional team in a high-pressure environment.
  • Certifications: ACSP / ACTC (Apple Certified Support Professional / Apple Certified Technical Coordinator), Jamf 200+ certification, ITIL Foundations, CompTIA Security+/CASP+, or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting classified IT environments with strong knowledge of NSA, DoD, or related agency security and compliance requirements.
