JOB SUMMARY

The Release & Delivery Lead is the single accountable owner of how Sightview ships. This role owns the release calendar and Change Control Board process end-to-end, defines and enforces the checkpoints before, during, and after every deployment, and keeps internal teams and customer-facing stakeholders informed of what’s coming, when, and what it means for them. The Release & Delivery Lead also serves as Scrum Master for one or more delivery teams, bringing agile discipline to planning and execution, and partners closely with Engineering, QA, DevOps, Product, and Support to protect the reliability of every release our customers depend on for patient care.
