Job summary

CLEAResult is seeking a Senior Release Engineer to orchestrate release planning, coordinate cross-functional teams, and strengthen CI/CD practices across .NET, React, and PHP stacks.

You will design and optimize pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, enforce quality gates with Selenium and Playwright, and drive automated, repeatable deployments with strong rollback capabilities.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in release management, DevOps, or build/release engineering, with at least 2+ in a senior or lead capacity.
• Hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps (Pipelines, Repos, Boards, Artifacts) and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
• Strong understanding of branching and versioning strategies and how to apply them across multiple languages and runtimes.
• Experience integrating automated testing—Selenium and Playwright—into release pipelines as enforced quality gates.
• Working familiarity with the application stacks you'll be shipping: .NET, React, PHP.
• Solid grasp of deployment patterns (blue/green, canary, rolling) and rollback strategies.
• Excellent cross-functional communication—comfortable running go/no-go calls and coordinating under pressure during a release or incident.

Responsibilities

• Own release planning and coordination across multiple teams and services—defining release schedules, cut-off dates, freeze windows, and go/no-go criteria.
• Design, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions, including build, test, artifact, and deployment stages.
• Manage branching, versioning, and release strategies across PHP, .NET, and React codebases.
• Define and enforce quality gates, integrating Selenium and Playwright automated test suites into pipelines so failures block promotion.
• Coordinate deployments across environments (dev, staging, production) and own rollback and recovery procedures when releases go sideways.
• Drive release readiness reviews—tracking open work items in Azure DevOps Boards, surfacing risks, and ensuring sign-offs are in place.
• Maintain clear release notes, change logs, and a complete audit trail for compliance and post-mortem purposes.
• Partner with development, QA, security, and infrastructure teams to remove bottlenecks and improve cycle time and deployment frequency.
• Establish and report on release metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR) and use them to drive process improvements.
• Champion release automation and a culture of repeatable, self-service deployments.
