• Collaborate with Software Engineering teams to support bi-weekly production releases and day-to-day patch deployments.
• Develop automation tools and scripts (Python/Bash) to improve release reliability and developer productivity.
• Work with DevOps and platform teams to support containerized applications and infrastructure automation.
• Support and troubleshoot build, deployment, and release pipeline issues across environments.
• Enable self-service deployment tooling for engineers while maintaining governance and quality controls.
• Manage and optimize Jenkins pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
• Collaborate with geographically distributed teams to coordinate releases and improve deployment practices.
• Track release metrics and continuously improve deployment performance, reliability, and efficiency.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for release infrastructure, tooling, and automation.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or release engineering roles.
• 5+ years of experience designing and supporting CI/CD pipelines in enterprise environments.
• Strong experience with Jenkins and pipeline-based CI/CD systems.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (preferably AWS EKS).
• Experience supporting and building Java and Node.js application pipelines.
