Duration: 6+ Month Contract
Pay: $55 C2C
NO H1B
Overview:
Onsite contract role (6+ months, possible extension) for a proactive engineer ready to shape macOS in a Microsoft-centric enterprise. Client is elevating macOS to first-class status and needs a hands-on Mac Endpoint Engineer to build and harden a modern Intune-managed macOS environment. You will deliver zero-touch enrollment, seamless Platform SSO (PSSO) first sign-in, large-scale macOS app packaging, configuration, compliance, automation, and a strong security posture with a goal of achieving 1:1 parity with Windows devices.
Key Responsibilities
· Design/operate zero-touch enrollment with ABM + ADE (PreStage through post-enrollment fixes).
· Build a consistent first sign-in experience using PSSO + Intune.
· Improve enrollment flows, bootstrap content, and post-enrollment automations.
· Lead macOS app packaging for Intune (PKG/DMG + pre/post scripts, detection rules, dependencies, retries, uninstall logic).
· Create a scalable third-party app deployment model with staged rings, rollback plans, and change control.
· Collaborate with Packaging/QA on versioning, testing, and release notes.
· Manage Intune baseline configs & compliance policies; suggest UX/reliability improvements.
· Enforce CIS macOS benchmark controls (macOS 26+); own configuration/enforcement, partner with InfoSec.
· Integrate/support: Entra ID, Defender for Endpoint (DLP), CrowdStrike, CyberArk EPM, Qualys, GlobalProtect ZTNA.
· Automate via scripting (bash/zsh/Python; PowerShell for Graph) – provisioning, remediations, health checks, reporting.
· Deliver actionable Intune dashboard metrics (enrollment success, sign-in time, compliance drift, packaging SLAs).
· Write KB articles/how-tos; transfer knowledge to Support; provide occasional Tier 3 guidance (no on-call).
· Partner with Identity, Security, Networking, and Support to prepare for go-live and scale across US users.
· Contribute to standards, guardrails, and SOPs for long-term stability.
Environment
MDM: Microsoft Intune only (no Jamf/Kandji).
Minimum: macOS 26 (Tahoe).
Stack: Entra ID, Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, CyberArk EPM, Qualys, GlobalProtect.
Standards: CIS macOS benchmark (InfoSec sets policy; you implement/operate).
Tools: ABM + ADE in place; Intune for compliance & reporting.
Required Qualifications
· 3–5+ years enterprise macOS MDM (Intune preferred).
· Strong Intune macOS packaging expertise (PKG/DMG, scripts, detection, rings, rollback).
· Hands-on ADE zero-touch + PSSO implementation.
· Scripting: bash/zsh/Python (PowerShell/Graph as needed).
· Experience enforcing CIS controls via Intune profiles/policies.
· Familiarity with Defender, CrowdStrike, CyberArk EPM, Qualys, and GlobalProtect.
· Excellent documentation & knowledge-transfer skills.
Preferred
· Self-healing remediations / drift correction.
· iOS/iPadOS in Intune (bonus).
· Entra ID Conditional Access for macOS.
· Current Apple management trends (PSSO, macOS security/privacy).
Success Looks Like
· Reliable zero-touch from unbox to desktop.
· Fast, frictionless PSSO sign-in.
· Scalable packaging/patching with SLAs, rings, and rollback.
