The Release Engineer oversees and orchestrates the software release lifecycle across our SaaS platform. The candidate will bridge the gap between Product Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure and Cloud Operations, focusing on standardising release processes while ensuring development teams maintain their speed and autonomy, responsible for enabling safe, predictable, lean, and compliant software delivery across the organisation.

What You'll Do

• Governance & Standardisation: Define and maintain "Golden Standards" for the release process across all product teams to ensure consistency.

• Interdependency Management: Analyse and validate cross-service dependencies prior to deployment, ensuring changes in "Service A" do not compromise the integrity of "Service B."

• Risk Mitigation: Assess risks associated with each release cycle, defining clear rollback plans and timely mitigation strategies.

• Process Automation : Collaborate with DevOps teams to automate release checklists and quality gates.

• Communication Orchestration: Act as the primary liaison between Engineering, Product, QA, and Security stakeholders to align release timelines and expectations.

• Continuous Improvement: Analyse post-release metrics to identify bottlenecks and constantly optimise the workflow.

• Enforce release readiness standards across all teams, with the authority to block releases if unmitigated or unclear risks are identified, in collaboration with Engineering Leadership.

• Track and communicate delivery blockers, dependencies, and risk indicators , escalating issues to the appropriate teams or line managers to ensure timely resolution and maintain a predictable release pace.

• Guarantee the company is always capable of deploying hotfixes for any service , promoting and validating processes that favour the use of tested release candidates over cherry-picked changes.

What it takes to be successful:

To be successful as a Release Engineer in a modern SaaS environment, you need to move away from being a "gatekeeper" and become an enabler . The true measure of success is when the release process is so well-structured that it becomes "boring"—meaning there are no surprises, no midnight emergencies, and no broken dependencies.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 3+ years in Release Engineering, or DevOps within SaaS/Cloud-native environments.

• CI/CD Mastery: Proficiency with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins.

• Microservices Architecture: Solid understanding of microservices, including API versioning, compatibility testing, and contract testing.

• Deployment Strategies: Hands-on experience with Canary Releases, Blue-Green deployments, and Feature Flag management.

• Observability: Ability to use monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Datadog) to validate release success in real-time.

• Pragmatism: Ability to balance process rigour with the need for engineering flexibility and velocity.

• Communication: Excellent ability to translate complex technical risks into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.

• Resilience: Remains calm and analytical when managing release-related incidents or high-pressure deployment windows.
