This is an opportunity for an experienced engineer who understands the entirety of the SDLC; architecture, application development, QA, and CI/CD. We're currently transitioning from a batch-based release cycle to an automated deployment model, and this individual will play a critical role in driving that transformation in our environment. The ideal candidate will be coming from a fast-paced software environment where they've taken significant ownership of production releases and delivery across various services.

• Own software release coordination:
  Oversee release readiness, deployment schedules, QA dependencies, technical blockers, and go/no-go decisions across engineering teams.
• Drive continuous deployment initiatives:
  Help transition the organization from scheduled batch releases toward automated, reliable, and repeatable production deployments.
• Improve CI/CD processes:
  Help strengthen our automated testing, deployment pipelines, release safeguards, and feature flags
• Remain hands‑on with development:
  Contribute production code, participate in code reviews, and collaborate on architecture and technical design decisions.
• Improve engineering delivery:
  Identify bottlenecks across development, QA, and production while creating more efficient and predictable release processes.
• Increase release visibility:
  Establish clear communication and reporting around deployment readiness, engineering progress, release blockers, and production delivery.

• 8 + years of experience, most recently as a Staff, Lead, or Principal Software Engineer. Must have production experience with AI.
• Demonstrated experience owning or playing a significant role in software release cycles within a production engineering environment.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing, release management, and modern software delivery practices.
• Experience working in an environment utilizing continuous delivery or continuous deployment, ideally with firsthand involvement in improving or implementing these processes.
• Broad technical understanding of modern software architecture, backend services, APIs, and frontend applications.
• Understanding of QA processes, automated testing strategies, deployment risk, and production reliability.
• Experience collaborating across multiple engineering teams and navigating technical dependencies in complex software environments.
• A genuine interest in remaining hands‑on while growing into an engineering management position.
