Do you love designing the build and release pipelines that deliver mission‑critical software, and do you want to know that your work helps keep communities safer? Kaseware builds case management and investigations software trusted by law enforcement, government, and corporate security teams. Our customers depend on a delivery system that is fast, secure, repeatable, and auditable – and that is where you come in.

This is an architecture‑leaning role: you will set the patterns, standards, and reusable components that the engineering organization builds against;

integrate security and compliance tooling end‑to‑end into the pipeline; and partner with engineering, security, and operations teams to keep the path from commit to production fast, reliable, and trustworthy.
