Job description

• Own release engineering across multiple teams: plan, coordinate and execute deployments that span cross-team dependencies and shared release trains, working directly with product owners, scrum masters, engineers and QA.
• Build and continuously improve the automated deployment paths for our Azure platform as a service applications, along with the networking, identity and secrets configuration those deployments depend on.
• Migrate pipelines and repos from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions, and build the templates and patterns that make the migration repeatable for other teams.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions for secure, scalable, and repeatable delivery patterns.
• Find the friction in how we deliver today and engineer it away, so teams ship faster and more safely than they did last quarter.
• Develop scripts and tooling (PowerShell, Python, Bash) to replace manual steps and remove toil.
• Create templates and automation to enable developer self-service for repos, pipelines, and containers.
• Enable agile teams to run their own delivery: get them set up, unblock them, and hand capability back to them rather than absorbing the work.
• Troubleshoot build and deployment issues across development teams.
• Support releases up to 2 to 3 nights per week.
• Contribute to documentation and guardrails that improve efficiency, security, and reliability.

Required:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, release engineering or cloud engineering roles with strong software engineering fundamentals.
• A genuine engineering mindset. We are looking for people who automate and build, not people who operate a console.
• Azure platform as a service expertise, including function apps, App Service, networking and Key Vault.
• Deep GitHub Actions experience, plus Azure DevOps Pipelines.
• Release engineering experience coordinating deployments across teams with shared dependencies.
• Experience running infrastructure, .NET and Maven deployments in production.
• Strong scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, Bash).
• Well versed in building, running, and debugging apps in C#/.NET, Java, Node.js, TypeScript, etc.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and agile delivery practices.
• Willingness to support night releases up to 2 to 3 nights per week.
• Excellent collaboration and troubleshooting skills, and comfort moving between teams with different stacks.

Preferred:

• Kubernetes and GitOps (Argo CD preferred), including Canary and Blue/Green deployment strategies.
• Exposure to GCP.
• Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, YAML).
• SAFe agile environment experience.
• Kafka, GraphQL, Temporal, LaunchDarkly, SonarQube, Backstage, and mobile app release experience
