Senior Release Engineer - Platform & Delivery

<p><strong>About the Role:</strong></p> <p>Our goal is to reach a state where moving from a prototype to a production-grade Pull Request takes minutes. As AI-driven development becomes our primary mode of authoring, the volume of code entering our pipelines will increase exponentially. High-velocity innovation only works when it is backed by world-class reliability and an infrastructure that can validate code as fast as an LLM can generate it.</p> <p>As the <strong>Senior Release Engineer</strong>, you are the architect of our delivery engine. You will define the standards for how we version, test, and deploy a distributed fleet of services in a world where code authoring is no longer the bottleneck—release and verification are.</p> <p>In our framework, the speed of iteration is our greatest competitive advantage. Traditional release patterns must evolve to handle the unique challenges of AI-generated code, which requires more frequent deployments, massive test volume, and highly sensitive monitoring. You will build the CI/CD systems that allow us to "fail fast" through throwaway testing and verify "gold-standard" code via automated canaries.</p> <p><strong>What You’ll Do:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Architect High-Velocity Release Pipelines:</strong> Build and maintain CI/CD infrastructure designed to handle a significant increase in code volume. Optimize for "Lead Time to Production" without sacrificing safety.</li> <li><strong>Ephemeral Throwaway Testing Infrastructure:</strong> Design systems for high-volume, "disposable" test suites. As AI authors code rapidly, you will provide the compute and orchestration for ephemeral environments that run thousands of tests for a single experimental PR and then vanish.</li> <li><strong>Intelligent Canary Progressive Rollouts:</strong> Implement automated canary strategies that use real-time health signals to gate deployments. Since AI-driven code can introduce subtle regressions, your pipelines must support granular traffic shifting and automated rollbacks based on enhanced telemetry.</li> <li><strong>Enhanced Monitoring Drift Detection:</strong> Partner with Ops to build a "Shift-Left" observability culture. Integrate monitoring tools that can distinguish between traditional code bugs and behavioral drift in AI-integrated services during the release phase.</li> <li><strong>Infrastructure as Code (IaC) at Scale:</strong> Own the provisioning and management of our service fleet. Manage the scaling and resource allocation for hundreds of task-specific services using modern IaC patterns (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.).</li> <li><strong>Reproducibility Versioning:</strong> Ensure every deployment—and the specific AI context/logic that generated it—is 100% reproducible and auditable.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What We Are Looking For:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>The Automation Expert:</strong> You are a Senior-level Release, DevOps, or Platform Engineer with deep experience in modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).</li> <li><strong>A "Scale-First" Thinker:</strong> You understand that AI-driven code changes the math of CI/CD. You are comfortable building systems that handle 10x the typical PR volume and require massively parallel testing.</li> <li><strong>Reliability Strategist:</strong> You have experience with advanced deployment patterns (Blue/Green, Canary, Feature Flags) and know how to automate the "Go/No-Go" decision based on real-time data.</li> <li><strong>Rigorous Deterministic:</strong> You are obsessed with consistency. You believe that while code generation may be probabilistic, the pipeline that delivers it must be a fortress of determinism.</li> </ul> <p> </p><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p>The posted pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the compensation for this position and is subject to change based on business need.
