Job summary

Clear Destination Inc. is seeking a Senior Release & Reliability Engineer to deliver and automate releases of backend services across regions, with responsibility for disaster recovery and failover planning.

You will collaborate with development, product managers, compliance and infrastructure teams to standardize deployment processes, implement telemetry-driven verification, and lead efforts to modernize pipelines while mentoring peers in release practices.

Qualifications

2+ years in release engineering, configuration management, DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, including production releases of server-side services
Rigor about change control: every release documented and reconstructable afterwards, never shipped without a tested rollback path
Disaster recovery: standby environments, replication, backup and restore, and failover you have actually run
Strong Python and shell, enough to own and extend release tooling and automate operations against tool APIs
Deep Linux experience, ideally Red Hat, including diagnosing a failing service on an unfamiliar host
CI/CD and artifact management: Jenkins, TeamCity or GitLab CI, Git, Maven, Gradle or npm, Nexus or Artifactory
Configuration as code: YAML models, environment, region and host overrides, everything in version control
Observability and log analysis: Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, Grafana or equivalent, plus scripting and regular expressions for raw logs
Clear written communication, and comfort working across teams in several countries and time zones
BSc/BA in Computer Science, Engineering or a relevant field

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
