• Design and build shared release workflows, tools, and abstractions for validating and deploying services.
• Create release orchestration for artifact promotion, environment-aware deployments, and release candidate checks.
• Develop self-service paths that make safe deployment patterns easier for engineering teams to adopt.
• Build automated validation, deployment safeguards, and rollback mechanisms into release workflows.
• Improve configuration and environment management across development, staging, and production, with traceability and reproducibility.
• Add observability to the release lifecycle and address systemic reliability or environment issues.

Requirements

• At least five years building platform systems, infrastructure, or developer-facing tools.
• Strong software engineering skills in TypeScript or a similar language, with hands-on experience building internal services or frameworks.
• Experience contributing substantially to shared platforms and extending CI/CD systems programmatically.
• Knowledge of containers and deployment architectures, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience building on AWS in production and multi-environment settings.
• Strong understanding of release practices such as artifact management, promotion, rollback, and deployment safety.
• Ability to work across platform, CI, infrastructure, and SRE teams, and improve developer experience through automation.

Nice to have

• Curiosity about agentic and specification-driven development.
