macOS SME

• Build and maintain secure macOS workstation images for both on-site and remote/virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) access.
• Support automated provisioning and lifecycle management for Apple devices.
• Use JAMF Pro and related tooling to support endpoint management for macOS devices.
• Implement baseline enforcement, logging, telemetry, and operational monitoring for macOS endpoints.
• Support passwordless or hardware-backed credential approaches where approved.
• Document build standards, workflows, remediation steps, and knowledge transfer materials.

macOS Subject Matter Expert

• Direct multiple AI coding agents in parallel to design, build, test, and ship iOS features in Swift, UIKit, and (increasingly) SwiftUI.
• Take total ownership of a slice of the iOS app — discovery, scoping, architecture, implementation, QA, release, monitoring, and iteration.
• Run an "engineer-as-a-team" workflow — spawn agents for spec drafting, codegen, test generation, code review, refactoring, doc writing, and bug triage, then merge, judge, and ship.
• Develop and defend a strong point of view on what good iOS code looks like inside Grove's architecture (View Controllers + ViewState value types, AppController/Coordinator patterns, protocol-driven Services and Data Managers, Combine, modularized via local Swift Packages) so you can critically review AI output and reject what doesn't meet our bar.
• Design prompts, evals, and harnesses that make AI-assisted mobile development repeatable and measurable, not artisanal.
• Stand up automation that closes the loop: Fastlane lanes, CircleCI checks, TestFlight distribution, device test farms, telemetry-driven rollback, and AI-powered review gates.
• Drive architecture decisions with AI as a research and prototyping partner — explore three options in a day instead of one in a week, especially during the UIKit → SwiftUI migration.
• Collaborate with other engineers on architecture and trade-offs — bring designs for review before you ship them. Solicit business context from PMs, designers, and platform engineers; don't guess in isolation.
• Own production health autonomously — monitor Sentry, Datadog, Cloudflare, and Firebase to assess system health, triage incidents, and re-prioritize your own backlog without being asked. You set the queue; you don't wait for someone to tell you what's broken.
• Mentor the Heady contractor team on AI-native workflows and share learnings with mobile peers.

AI-First iOS Engineer

• Own complex features from concept to prototype through production
• Partner with Research, Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to shape and refine product requirements
• Use AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate delivery while evaluating output critically
• Drive scalable engineering best-practices while being conscious of quality, testing, and scalability
• Make confident scope and priority calls balancing craft, velocity, and user impact
• Test assumptions early, iterate on feedback, and continuously improve usability, performance, and creative outcomes
