What are the responsibilities and job description for the Apple Systems Engineer position at The Hired Guns?
Resourceful Apple Systems Engineer With Can-Do Vibe Wanted at Renowned Museum
Salary Range: $60,000 to $74,000 per year base
Are You the Missing Piece?
If you’re that Apple-savvy engineer who lights up a room and knows how to fix things before people even know something’s broken, this role is calling your name.
You’ve probably been the go-to person at your company, the one who’s always smiling, always helpful, always willing to turn the car around to ship a device or save a VIP. You bring deep Apple ecosystem fluency (MacOS, iOS, mobile laptops), enterprise experience, and that “helping gene” that people remember.
You can untangle break/fix issues, handle escalations, keep SLAs tight, manage VIP expectations with ease, and you know your way around JAMF, device management, automation, and security hardening. You thrive in hybrid, hands-on environments where you’re physically present, solving problems, mentoring Tier 1, and making the whole workplace run smoother.
If early-career service desk or Genius Bar experience was your launchpad—and you’ve since built serious corporate chops—read on!
What's it going to take to score an interview?
- 5 years supporting Apple environments (MacOS iOS), with at least 3 years in an enterprise setting
- Strong Tier 2/Tier 3 experience: break/fix, incident management, SLAs, VIP support
- Experience creating and deploying images, writing scripts, packaging software, and using automation tools
- JAMF or similar MDM experience (JAMF Pro is highly preferred)
- Ability to configure malware protection, encryption, and handle vulnerability and patch management
- Comfort investigating or remediating cybersecurity alerts
- Strong customer-service skills, including documentation, training users and Tier 1 staff, mentoring, and executive presence
- Hybrid Washington D.C. only — minimum 3 days per week onsite; remote is not an option
- Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and occasionally supporting special events
- Bonus points for MacOS & JAMF certifications, ITIL, or CompTIA A (required or equivalent)
You should take this meeting because ...
This is an opportunity to become the Apple expert in a mission-driven environment where your work directly supports world-class storytelling, innovation, and impact. You’ll be able to blend technical depth with high-touch customer service, supporting devices, VIPs, security operations, deployments, and automation, all while working across a modern Apple ecosystem with real influence on device management, scripting, security posture, and end-user experience. The team values soft skills just as much as technical talent, celebrating smarts, warmth, and reliability, and you’ll be part of a hybrid, collaborative tech division that spans everything from engineering to AV to infrastructure, ensuring that no day is ever dull.
