Senior Release Engineer - Platform & Delivery

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in release engineering, with a strong background in building and maintaining CI/CD systems. Your expertise in optimizing deployment processes has allowed you to handle significant code volumes efficiently, ensuring that safety is never compromised. You are well-versed in the challenges of deploying distributed systems and have a keen understanding of how to manage high-velocity innovation in a tech-driven environment.

Your technical skills include proficiency in AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, which you have used to create robust and scalable infrastructure. You are comfortable working in Linux environments and have experience with version control systems like Git. You understand the importance of automated testing and monitoring, and you are passionate about implementing best practices in release management.

You thrive in collaborative settings, working closely with development teams to ensure that the transition from prototype to production is seamless. Your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders makes you an invaluable team member. You are proactive in identifying potential bottlenecks in the release process and are always looking for ways to improve efficiency.

Desirable

Experience with ephemeral and throwaway testing infrastructure is a plus, as is familiarity with AI-driven development processes. You are open to exploring new technologies and methodologies that can enhance the release pipeline and improve overall system reliability. You are also interested in mentoring junior engineers and sharing your knowledge with the team.

What you'll do

As a Senior Release Engineer at TripActions, you will be responsible for architecting high-velocity release pipelines that can handle an exponential increase in code volume. You will build and maintain CI/CD infrastructure designed to optimize lead time to production while ensuring safety and reliability. Your role will involve designing systems for high-volume, disposable test suites that allow for rapid iteration and testing of AI-generated code.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define standards for versioning, testing, and deploying services. Your expertise will guide the evolution of traditional release patterns to meet the unique challenges posed by AI-driven development. You will implement automated canary deployments and monitoring systems to ensure that code quality remains high, even as deployment frequency increases.

In addition to your technical responsibilities, you will play a key role in shaping the culture of release engineering at TripActions. You will advocate for best practices in CI/CD and contribute to the continuous improvement of the release process. Your insights will help the team navigate the complexities of deploying distributed systems in a fast-paced environment.
