The company is looking to solve the problem of managing bi-weekly release trains across Product and Infrastructure, ensuring cross-functional readiness, and enforcing release readiness checklists.
Requirements
- AWS experience (one or more): EKS/ECS or Lambda, API Gateway/ALB, S3/CloudFront, RDS/DynamoDB, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch.
- Hands-on: Salesforce and Capado
- CI/CD ownership with GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab; artifact repos (Artifactory/Nexus); Docker; Kubernetes/Helm.
- Security gates hands-on: SAST, DAST, Veracode (policy config, gating), plus SCA/secret scanning and SBOM.
- Codebase familiarity: releasing React, React Native, and Spring Boot apps (build chains, packaging, env configs).
- IaC (Terraform or CloudFormation) and config management best practices.
- Observability: dashboards/alerts with Datadog/New Relic/Prometheus + Grafana; log aggregation (ELK/OpenSearch).
Responsibilities
- Own the bi-weekly release train across Product & Infrastructure; publish the release calendar and scope 10 business days in advance.
- Coordinate cross-functional readiness (Product, Eng, QA, SecOps, Support) with clear owners, cutlines, and a Go/No-Go meeting.
- Enforce the Release Readiness Checklist in CI/CD: clean-code/lint gates, agreed test-coverage thresholds, SAST/DAST, Veracode policy pass, SCA/secret scans, SBOM capture, performance/accessibility budgets.
- Run branching, versioning, and tagging (semantic versions), manage RC builds, change tickets, and release notes.
- Automate delivery: build/test/scan/deploy pipelines, feature-flag rollouts, blue-green/canary deploys, automated rollback.
- Environment & config management (dev→prod): infra-as-code reviews, promotion rules, artifact immutability.
- Live release operations: monitor health metrics during rollout, triage incidents, lead comms, drive MTTR and post-release validation.
Other
- 10–12 years in Release/DevOps/Build Engineering for cloud-hosted products.
- Strong communicator: crisp status, risk/RAID management, stakeholder updates; facilitation of Go/No-Go forums.
- Agile delivery: comfortable running a predictable every-two-weeks cadence.
- Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full time employees.
- This position is available for independent contractors
