Job Description: Software Engineer II - Release & Deploy

About the role We are looking for a hands‑on engineer to improve how a digital banking platform is built, released, and operated. You will coordinate deployments, maintain and troubleshoot CI/CD workflows, support environment readiness, and use monitoring data to help resolve availability and performance issues. This role works across application, infrastructure, operations, security, and enterprise platform teams. It is well suited to someone who can understand an existing delivery process, work methodically during a release or incident, and turn recurring manual work into reliable automation.

What you will do

Release and deployment management

• Coordinate application and infrastructure releases across non‑production and production environments.
• Support release planning, readiness assessments, implementation activities, and post‑deployment validation.
• Create, review, and maintain CI/CD workflows, including reusable patterns shared across multiple repositories.
• Troubleshoot failures across builds, tests, security scans, artifact publication, infrastructure changes, and application deployments.
• Support release windows and maintenance events, including health verification and rollback when required.

Change management and governance

• Create and maintain change records, implementation plans, validation steps, rollback procedures, and release evidence.
• Ensure releases meet enterprise risk, audit, security, and change‑management requirements.
• Coordinate technical reviews and approvals with application, infrastructure, operations, and platform stakeholders.
• Maintain repository and release controls such as required checks, code ownership, branch protection, release tags, and secure secrets handling.

Environment and release readiness

• Assess environment readiness and manage deployment dependencies across development, test, and production environments.
• Monitor environment health and deployment performance, identifying configuration drift, dependency failures, and other risks to delivery.
• Use application performance monitoring, centralized logs, distributed traces, and correlation IDs to triage availability and performance issues.
• Improve dashboards, service‑level indicators, synthetic checks, and alert routing so operational issues are visible and actionable.
• Support technical incident investigation and drive assigned follow‑up actions to completion.

Technology currency and modernization

• Support platform upgrades, pipeline version updates, cloud migrations, and other technology‑currency initiatives.
• Adapt delivery workflows for both application and infrastructure changes while aligning with shared enterprise pipeline standards.
• Test workflow changes with a controlled set of services before wider rollout, using clear validation and rollback criteria.
• Contribute to container and Kubernetes delivery practices, and support pipelines for independently released front‑end modules as these capabilities evolve.

Documentation and continuous improvement

• Develop and maintain release runbooks, deployment standards, operational procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
• Automate repetitive release and support tasks to reduce manual effort and operational risk.
• Use deployment, incident, and reliability metrics to identify and prioritize improvements.
• Turn lessons from failed releases and production incidents into durable process or automation changes.

Stakeholder engagement

• Collaborate with development, infrastructure, operations, security, and platform teams to deliver releases successfully.
• Communicate release status, deployment risks, environment issues, and implementation results clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Escalate issues with concise evidence and coordinate ownership when resolution spans multiple teams.
