Role Overview

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll help us balance development velocity with the reliability our customers depend on. You'll partner with engineering teams to shape how their services are measured, lead the work to improve them, and use what you learn from production to build the automation and agentic tooling that improves reliability globally. You'll work fluently with agentic development tools as part of your everyday practice, using them to move faster, to investigate harder problems and to multiply your impact. This is individual contributor role at the intersection of Engineering, Product, Customer Success and Technical Support, where you'll play a meaningful part in shaping how we practice SRE at Jamf.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with engineering teams to define service-level objectives, error budgets, and supporting indicators for their services, and help them use those measures to inform prioritization and reliability investment.
  • Investigate complex production issues end-to-end across application, data, infrastructure, and network layers, using AI to correlate logs, metrics, and code and to pressure-test hypotheses before acting.
  • Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, architecture notes, postmortems and proofs of concept for both technical and non-technical audiences, in a form that engineers and AI tools can re-use.
  • Identify systemic sources of toil and lead the work to eliminate them through automation, AI agents, tooling, and process change.
  • Set the conditions for AI agents to do reliable work in our environment, including repository context, well-specified tasks, integrations such as MCP servers that give AI safe access to the systems it needs, and the tests and guardrails needed for AI-authored change to be trusted.
  • Participate in team ceremonies to identify and refine work, communicate findings, and drive opportunities to collaborate.
  • Drive cross-team and cross-department collaboration on reliability initiatives, including reviewing designs, influencing roadmaps, and mentoring engineers on SRE practices, including effective AI use in their reliability work.
  • Advise senior leadership and stakeholders during critical customer escalations, translating between technical reality and business impact.
  • Contribute to scaling the SRE practice itself: improving our standards, our tooling, and how we partner with product engineering teams.

How it all started:

Jamf was born at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire campus. Our co-founder, Zach Halmstad, worked full time in the IT department deploying, updating, and tracking over 400 student and faculty Mac devices. After years of wishing there was a better way to do his job, he decided to create one himself.

Meanwhile, Chip Pearson was leading a Minneapolis IT consultancy and the two collided and Jamf was born.

Founded in 2002, Jamf has one mission: Help organizations succeed with Apple.
