Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer, Delivery: Release based in India.

Join a collaborative engineering team focused on making software delivery safer, faster, and more reliable across cloud-hosted, self-managed, and dedicated environments. In this role, you will combine backend software development expertise with infrastructure knowledge to improve release management tools, automation, and deployment workflows. You will work closely with Site Reliability Engineers and infrastructure teams to build scalable frameworks that streamline code delivery and minimize production risks. By identifying bottlenecks, enhancing observability, and optimizing continuous delivery pipelines, you will help engineering teams ship high-quality software more efficiently. You will also contribute to monitoring systems, release scheduling, and process improvements that strengthen the overall software delivery lifecycle. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, building practical tools, and collaborating across disciplines in a distributed, innovation-driven environment.

Accountabilities

• Ensure reliable software releases: Help maintain a safe, consistent, and efficient release process across multiple deployment environments, minimizing disruptions and improving the overall delivery experience.
• Build release automation tools: Design, develop, and maintain tools, frameworks, and automation solutions that simplify release management, reduce manual work, and improve deployment reliability.
• Modernize release infrastructure: Contribute to the development of new release framework capabilities that replace legacy or custom-built tooling with scalable, maintainable solutions.
• Optimize continuous delivery pipelines: Identify inefficiencies in continuous integration, continuous delivery, and deployment workflows, implementing improvements that accelerate delivery cycles and reduce bottlenecks.
• Enable engineering teams: Collaborate with individual product and engineering teams to define and implement solutions that help them release software faster, more safely, and with greater consistency.
• Develop scalable engineering frameworks: Build reusable components and frameworks that enable application code to scale with demand while maintaining performance and reliability.
• Improve observability and monitoring: Help teams instrument their applications, identify areas that require better visibility, and implement monitoring and alerting systems to track release velocity and operational health.
• Collaborate across infrastructure teams: Work closely with Site Reliability Engineers and other infrastructure specialists to assess the impact of application changes on production systems and user-facing services.
• Communicate release activities: Help maintain clear communication around release schedules, coordinate with relevant stakeholders, and support effective planning across engineering teams.
• Participate in release management: Contribute to the Release Manager rotation, supporting release coordination, operational readiness, and continuous improvement of delivery practices.
• Measure delivery performance: Monitor key performance indicators, particularly Mean Time to Production, to identify opportunities for improving release speed and reliability.

Requirements

• Backend software engineering experience: A strong professional background in backend development, with experience designing, building, and maintaining production-quality software systems.
• Programming proficiency: Professional coding experience in Ruby or Go (Golang). Proficiency in Ruby is a significant advantage, and candidates working primarily with Go must be willing to learn Ruby. Ruby on Rails experience is beneficial but not required.
• Large-scale systems experience: Experience developing or maintaining software systems that operate at scale, with an understanding of performance, reliability, maintainability, and operational requirements.
• CI/CD expertise: Practical experience improving continuous integration, continuous delivery, or continuous deployment pipelines, including the tools, automation, and processes that support them.
• Infrastructure and cloud knowledge: An interest in cloud platforms, containerization technologies, and Infrastructure as Code tools, with a willingness to deepen expertise in infrastructure and operational engineering.
• Observability and monitoring: Familiarity with application or systems observability, including instrumentation, monitoring, alerting, performance analysis, and identifying potential production issues.
• Automation and process improvement: The ability to recognize repetitive tasks and delivery bottlenecks and develop software-based solutions that improve efficiency and reduce operational risk.
• Product development mindset: A focus on building practical, maintainable, and user-oriented components that address real engineering needs and deliver measurable improvements.
• Collaboration and communication: Strong teamwork skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to work effectively with backend engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, and cross-functional infrastructure teams.
• Adaptability and continuous learning: A proactive approach to learning new technologies, exploring unfamiliar technical domains, and applying feedback to improve engineering practices.
• Values-driven approach: A commitment to collaborative problem-solving, transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Location availability: Ability to meet the role's Bengaluru, India, location requirements.

Benefits

• Flexible paid time off: Access paid leave to support personal needs, rest, and work-life balance.
• Remote-first work culture: Benefit from a flexible working environment, subject to the specific location and attendance requirements of the position.
• Equity compensation: Eligibility for equity compensation and an employee stock purchase plan, subject to applicable terms.
• Professional development funding: Access a growth and development fund to support technical learning, training, and career progression.
• Parental leave: Benefit from parental leave provisions designed to support employees and their families.
• Employee resource groups: Participate in team member resource groups that encourage inclusion, connection, and community.
• Global collaboration: Work with colleagues across international teams, sharing technical expertise and contributing to large-scale engineering initiatives.
• Career growth opportunities: Develop your expertise in backend engineering, release automation, cloud infrastructure, observability, and software delivery practices.
• Innovative engineering environment: Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and use modern development approaches, including AI-powered tools, to enhance productivity and engineering outcomes.
