Senior Build and Release Automation Engineer

In this role, you will own the design, governance, and continuous improvement of CI/CD systems, build infrastructure, and release automation practices across the engineering organization.

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines, release automation workflows, and artifact versioning strategies across multiple services and repositories.
• Define and standardize reusable “golden pipeline” templates and build patterns using CI tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI.
• Manage and optimize build infrastructure, including runners, caching systems, containerized environments, and execution performance.
• Embed software supply-chain security controls such as vulnerability scanning, secrets management, SBOM generation, and artifact signing.
• Administer and optimize artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), ensuring proper structure, retention, and traceability.
• Partner with engineering and security teams to improve release governance, branching strategies, and deployment reliability.
• Troubleshoot complex build failures and cross-service dependency issues across distributed systems.
• Develop documentation, runbooks, and enablement materials to drive adoption of standardized CI/CD practices.
• Mentor engineers and promote best practices in build automation, DevSecOps, and release engineering.

Requirements:

This role requires deep expertise in build/release engineering, CI/CD architecture, and software delivery optimization at scale.

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or build and release engineering roles.
• Strong experience designing and operating CI/CD systems using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, or CircleCI.
• Deep understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies, and release governance models.
• Hands-on experience with artifact management platforms such as JFrog Artifactory.
• Strong knowledge of build systems and dependency management tools (Maven, Gradle, npm, etc.).
• Experience implementing secure software supply-chain practices (signing, SBOMs, vulnerability scanning).
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or similar.
• Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, Bash, Go, or similar) for automation development.
• Experience with containerized environments (Docker) and cloud platforms, particularly AWS.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical standards across large engineering teams.

Benefits:

• Competitive annual salary ($140,000 – $220,000 depending on location and experience).
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with employer contributions.
• Unlimited PTO and strong focus on work-life balance.
• Flexible remote or hybrid work arrangements within eligible U.S. locations.
• Life insurance and additional financial protection benefits.
• Opportunities for career growth, technical leadership, and platform ownership.
• Inclusive and collaborative engineering culture focused on innovation and impact.
