Software Engineer, Delivery : Release

• Ensure reliable software releases: Help maintain a safe, consistent, and efficient release process across multiple deployment environments, minimizing disruptions and improving the overall delivery experience.
• Build release automation tools: Design, develop, and maintain tools, frameworks, and automation solutions that simplify release management, reduce manual work, and improve deployment reliability.
• Modernize release infrastructure: Contribute to the development of new release framework capabilities that replace legacy or custom-built tooling with scalable, maintainable solutions.
• Optimize continuous delivery pipelines: Identify inefficiencies in continuous integration, continuous delivery, and deployment workflows, implementing improvements that accelerate delivery cycles and reduce bottlenecks.
• Enable engineering teams: Collaborate with individual product and engineering teams to define and implement solutions that help them release software faster, more safely, and with greater consistency.
• Develop scalable engineering frameworks: Build reusable components and frameworks that enable application code to scale with demand while maintaining performance and reliability.
• Improve observability and monitoring: Help teams instrument their applications, identify areas that require better visibility, and implement monitoring and alerting systems to track release velocity and operational health.
• Collaborate across infrastructure teams: Work closely with Site Reliability Engineers and other infrastructure specialists to assess the impact of application changes on production systems and user-facing services.
• Communicate release activities: Help maintain clear communication around release schedules, coordinate with relevant stakeholders, and support effective planning across engineering teams.
• Participate in release management: Contribute to the Release Manager rotation, supporting release coordination, operational readiness, and continuous improvement of delivery practices.
• Measure delivery performance: Monitor key performance indicators, particularly Mean Time to Production, to identify opportunities for improving release speed and reliability.

Requirements

• Backend software engineering experience: A strong professional background in backend development, with experience designing, building, and maintaining production-quality software systems.
• Programming proficiency: Professional coding experience in Ruby or Go (Golang). Proficiency in Ruby is a significant advantage, and candidates working primarily with Go must be willing to learn Ruby. Ruby on Rails experience is beneficial but not required.
