Descripción del empleo

Cisco keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Dearborn, and the next opinion we need belongs to a Release Engineer. Step into a Release Engineer position at Cisco where $70,000 - $92,000, team support, and career growth come standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship the Swift trust-based rewrite that pays down years of Cisco technical debt
• Ship incremental improvements to Cisco's Dearborn platform on a regular cadence
• Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging PostgreSQL and AWS
• Untangle the Cultural Awareness dependency knots that have slowed Dearborn releases for months
• Carry a delightfully-weird GitHub Actions feature through code freeze without breaking Cisco stability

What You'll Bring

• Solid Python grounding, plus Google Cloud you can pick up on the fly
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
• 4+ years putting PostgreSQL to work in a technology setting
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written

Cisco is a deeply technical, fiercely independent Dearborn company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. Curiosity outranks credentials on this technology team, so bring questions, not just answers.

Here you earn $70,000 - $92,000 while a dedicated mentor helps you grow from mid-level into ownership, all wrapped in benefits worth keeping.
