Job description

Half craft, half stubbornness, our Release Engineer role asks you to make Unit Testing systems behave under pressure they were never promised. With ownership, a $79,000 - $120,000 salary, and 1 years of Facilitation to draw on, you'll do your best work at Civic Partners Group.

Key Responsibilities

• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Civic Partners Group can explain
• Carry the MySQL platform work that makes Civic Partners Group's next CA expansion boring
• Translate the hardworking Vue.js outage into fixes that make the next Berkeley launch dull
• Own the unfussy Unit Testing subsystem that the rest of Civic Partners Group quietly depends on
• Pair with technology analysts so Civic Partners Group's MySQL models match real behavior
• Resurrect flaky Unit Testing tests until the Berkeley, CA suite is trustworthy again

What You'll Bring

• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• Practical command of Time Management, with bonus points for MySQL
• 1+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
• Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your technology craft
• Working understanding of both Organization and Time Management in real-world settings

From its base in Berkeley, CA, Civic Partners Group has spent the last decade making Jenkins dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Unit Testing and GraphQL, not bureaucracy.

We are offering $79,000 - $120,000, a clear growth track, hands‑on mentorship, and the kind of flexibility that keeps CA talent happy.
