Role Summary
This role involves designing, developing, and operationalizing automated macOS application packaging and distribution solutions. The focus is on delivering high-volume application recipes using AutoPkg, with immediate emphasis on recipe development and platform extension through Python-based custom processors. The engineer will ensure reliable, secure, and auditable workflows for macOS software deployment in a fast-paced, delivery-oriented environment.

Responsibilities

  • Build, maintain, and optimize macOS installer packages in formats such as pkg and dmg, including workflows for code signing and notarization.
  • Author, test, and refine AutoPkg recipes, leveraging the community processor ecosystem and chaining processors to streamline packaging processes.
  • Develop custom AutoPkg processors using Python to meet specific security, metadata tagging, and compliance requirements.
  • Create deterministic, traceable, and auditable build outputs with proper versioning and change history documentation.
  • Collaborate with engineering, security, and application teams to validate packaging standards, establish guardrails, and define repeatable release procedures.
  • Contribute to operational documentation, runbooks, and training materials to ensure ongoing process sustainability and knowledge transfer.
  • Apply AI-assisted development techniques where appropriate to improve delivery speed without compromising quality or security standards.
  • Ensure compliance with macOS distribution constraints, adapting packaging strategies accordingly.
  • Maintain proficiency in version control practices, managing branching strategies, code reviews, and artifact traceability within Git and GitHub environments.
  • Support continuous improvement of packaging and automation pipelines through feedback and innovation.

Qualifications

  • Deep hands-on experience with macOS installer formats including pkg and dmg, as well as code signing and notarization workflows.
  • Strong understanding of macOS software distribution practices, including packaging constraints and deployment considerations distinct from Windows environments.
  • Proven experience with AutoPkg, including creating, maintaining, and chaining recipes within the processor-based model.
  • Proficiency in Python development for building maintainable modules and integrations supporting automation and compliance.
  • Demonstrated operational discipline with Git and GitHub workflows, including branching strategies, pull requests, and maintaining an auditable artifact history.
  • Excellent communication skills to coordinate with technical and non-technical stakeholders in a delivery-focused setting.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with an emphasis on automation, quality, and security standards.
  • Availability to work on-site as this position requires in-office presence.
