Job details
About this role
Role overview
Own the platform layer that carries software from build through production. As a senior individual contributor, you’ll shape release and configuration systems so teams can deploy services reliably, manage environments consistently, and understand deployment health. The work combines software engineering, infrastructure, SRE, security, and developer experience.
Responsibilities - 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.
