About the Role

As a Release Engineer, you will own CI/CD pipeline design, release automation, and infrastructure provisioning across a multirepo, multitenant environment.

• Deployment Governance: Implement automated deployment workflows within Kubernetes (e.g., GitOps, progressive delivery, canary, or blue-green deployments) with automated rollback strategies, tagging, and auditability.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with DevOps, Platform, and Software Engineering teams to standardize infrastructure modules and containerization best practices.
• Troubleshooting & Optimization: Diagnose and resolve complex pipeline failures, Terraform state conflicts, and Kubernetes deployment or ingress issues.

What We re Looking For

• Deep Terraform Expertise: Strong, hands-on experience writing, modularizing, and managing state files for Terraform in production cloud environments (AWS preferred).
• Strong Kubernetes Proficiency: Solid understanding of Kubernetes architecture, resource management (deployments, services, ingresses), and hands-on experience deploying containerized applications.
• CI/CD Pipeline Mastery: Extensive experience designing pipeline workflows in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Multi-Repo Management: Proven experience managing large, multi-tenant ecosystems with strict versioning, tagging, and release discipline.
• Scripting & Automation: Strong scripting skills (e.g., Bash, Python, or Go) to automate release tasks and glue tools together.
• Detail-Oriented & Disciplined: A highly organized professional who prioritizes security, compliance, and zero-downtime deployment strategies.

Nice to Have

• Experience with GitOps tools (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).
• Experience with GitLab CI/CD.
• Familiarity with Cursor or AI-assisted development tools.
