Role
As a Software Engineer focusing on Release Engineering and Management, you will be instrumental in building and maintaining the infrastructure that enables reliable and efficient software releases. You will work closely with engineering teams across geographical boundaries, specifically coordinating with colleagues in Europe and North America to ensure seamless release processes. This role requires a proactive and self-directed individual capable of navigating various automation tools and coordinating complex workflows.
How your work moves the mission forward
- Build, support, and improve the automated release infrastructure for a variety of software from web application services to on-premise deployed software, using tools such as GitHub Actions, Argo workflows, and ArgoCD.
- Design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines that ensure the quality and velocity of software deployments.
- Coordinate release activities and schedules with globally distributed engineering teams (Munich, United States, and others).
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the build, test, and deployment process.
- Champion best practices in release management and continuous delivery across the organization.
- Automate repetitive tasks within the release lifecycle to increase efficiency and reduce manual errors.
- Facilitate the deployment and maintenance of multiple versions of the same software including version skew compatibility testing.
Skills you will need to be successful
- 4-year degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- 3 - 5 years software development experience: backend, devops, or build/release or similar roles.
- Experience with either Python or Go
- Ability to independently design and lead projects with a small team.
- Strong written communication skills for coordinating releases with engineering teams.
Skills that will differentiate your candidacy
- Experience with Bazel, nix, or other declarative build/packaging tools
- Experience with Argo CD, Argo Workflows, and GitHub Actions
- Past contributions to Linux distributions, ROS, or other large-scale software distributions
- Experience as a software engineering manager or a software engineer with reports.
