DexCare is building out an India-based Release & Deployment team to extend coverage for release and deployment operations. The Release Team Lead will own this activity end-to-end during India hours: leading a small team of Release Engineers, making real-time operational calls, contributing to deployment operations and being the single point of accountability back to the US-based RAD leadership. This role requires someone who can operate independently, exercise sound judgment without live backup and keep communication airtight across the handoff.

What you’ll do

• Lead and mentor a team of Release Engineers: assign work, review quality, build their skills and own their day-to-day performance.
• Execute deployments and scheduled tasks in approved change windows. Maintain and improve shared runbooks and documentation so the team can operate with minimal live guidance from the US.
• Serve as the primary escalation point and decision-maker for deployments and planned release execution during India hours.
• Partner with the US-based RAD leadership on deployment planning and CAB coordination.
• Ensure India-executed work meets DexCare’s release and deployment standards, following process and tooling standards.
• Identify process gaps or risks specific to distributed/follow-the-sun operations and propose fixes.
• Participate in resourcing and hiring decisions for the India team as it grows.
• Act as the communication bridge for release status, risks, and blockers to Product, Engineering, and Customer Experience stakeholders during India hours.

What you’ll bring

• 4+ years of experience in release and deployment engineering, including experience owning deployments end-to-end.
• 1+ years of experience leading or mentoring a team (formal or informal) — this role requires real people leadership, not just technical seniority.
• Experience applying generative AI tools to improve engineering or operational processes, with the ability to drive team-level initiatives that use AI to strengthen and evolve our pre-deployment check criteria (e.g., our deployment evidence/criteria library).
• Deep understanding of release management standards, control processes, and CI/CD tooling (source control, build systems, automated test, delivery systems).
• Strong experience with Atlassian Jira and Confluence, including building/reading dashboards and reports.
• Proven ability to operate autonomously and make sound operational judgment calls without immediate access to leadership.
• Excellent communication skills; demonstrated success working with distributed, cross-timezone teams (ideally US-India).
• Strong change management, risk management, and stakeholder communication skills.
