About the role
- 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.
