TL;DR · Lead Release Engineering, Agentic Platform

Join us as a Lead Member of Technical Staff in Release Engineering, where you will lead the release management for our Java backend services, Node.js platform layer, and iOS client apps. This role involves setting technical direction for software shipping in an agentic era, designing infrastructure that enables AI agents to safely propose and validate changes, and building critical pieces yourself. You’ll manage release strategy across multiple runtimes, automate pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins, ensure observability and compliance, and mentor junior engineers while influencing cross-organizational architecture decisions. Required skills include extensive experience in release engineering, deep CI/CD platform expertise, scripting abilities, Git internals knowledge, and a track record of leading technical initiatives. Strongly preferred are experiences integrating AI coding agents, policy-as-code frameworks, and running iOS releases at scale. This role is crucial for establishing trust layers that enable safe code acceptance from AI systems, driving the future of software delivery.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute a coherent release strategy across Java, Node.js, and iOS runtimes.
  • Design and build infrastructure for agentic release pipelines to ensure safe code shipping.
  • Develop and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Buildkite.
  • Establish branching, versioning, and cut strategies ensuring readiness for all runtimes.
  • Implement observability features and fast rollback mechanisms for deployment reliability.
  • Ensure compliance with SLSA-aligned build provenance and manage dependency vulnerabilities.
  • Mentor engineers on release engineering practices and represent the team in architecture forums.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in release engineering with demonstrated technical leadership.
  • Hands-on expertise in at least two tech stacks: JVM, Node.js, and iOS development tools.
  • Deep knowledge of CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Buildkite.
  • Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, TypeScript) and infrastructure-as-code experience.
  • Track record of designing merge policies and release governance for large engineering teams.
  • Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives from design to rollout.
