Is the general intention that this person will be responsible for both Mac and Windows engineering within the company? Or is the intention to have this person be a Mac engineer who is also available to work with the Windows engineers as necessary?

[UESCDurandal]

This person will work alongside existing Windows endpoint management engineers and support as needed, but is primarily focused on Mac. They will also work collaboratively with other Mac engineers across the business.

[mattkinabrew]

That's great, Thanks. And the position is intended to be on-site, not open to remote?

[UESCDurandal]

That's correct. Local to Irvine or Santa Monica, California.

[mattkinabrew]

Okay, thanks. I'm on the opposite side of the country, so that probably won't work out for me then.

Regards.
