Job summary

Interactive Brokers in Greenwich, CT seeks a Senior Release & Reliability Engineer to automate releases and deployments for backend services across regions, with a focus on approval, deployment, verification and rollback.

You will collaborate with development, product, compliance and infrastructure teams to own build, release pipelines and disaster recovery strategies, including standby regions and failover rehearsals.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in release engineering or DevOps with production releases of server-side services.

Responsibilities

• Deliver releases and deployments for backend services and web applications, from test through production, to whole regions or single hosts.
• Run the release request lifecycle with the requesting developer: approvals, rollback path, verification, change records.
• Execute rollbacks under time pressure, and verify the rolled-back state.
• Set up disaster recovery: standby regions, replication, backup and restore, failover and failback.
• Run DR drills and regional failover tests, and keep recovery procedures proven.
• Verify releases with telemetry rather than by eye: dashboards, log queries, error and latency checks, smoke tests.
• Onboard new services into the release system, including clustered multi-instance topologies.
• Automate manual release work: pipelines, deployment and configuration templates, validation, verification harnesses, restart jobs.
• Bring infrastructure, application and release pipelines under one versioned, testable template language, and retire per-project scripts.
• Help teams meet readiness standards before new traffic reaches production: monitoring coverage, load-test evidence, rate limiting, staggered restarts.
• Own build and release infrastructure and access: build jobs, artifact promotion and versioning, release permissions.
• Provide L2 and L3 support for the release path: off-hours windows, weekend coverage, emergency releases, incidents.
• Mentor engineers on release practice, and keep release and deployment procedures current
