Job Summary
About the Role
looking for a mid-to-senior Build & Release Engineer to own how our software gets from committed code to production and app store across both our SaaS web platform and native mobile apps (iOS and Android). Youll design and run the CI/CD pipelines branching strategies artifact management and release processes that let engineering teams ship frequently and safely. This is a hands-on role for someone who cares about repeatable low-drama releases and wants to bring order and automation to build and release engineering across two very different delivery models.What Youll Do
- Design build and maintain CI/CD pipelines across SaaS (web/backend) and mobile (iOS/Android) codebases covering build test packaging and deployment stages.
- Own release automation for mobile versioning code signing provisioning profiles phased rollouts and App Store/Play Store submissions and for SaaS automated deploys environment promotion and rollback procedures.
- Define and maintain branching strategies (trunk-based GitFlow release trains etc.) appropriate to each platforms release cadence and risk profile.
- Manage artifact repositories and dependency management (e.g. Artifactory Nexus npm/Maven/CocoaPods registries) versioning retention promotion and access control.
- Own changelog and release notes generation and distribution automating changelog creation from commit history/PRs and coordinating release communications with product and support teams.
- Coordinate release trains and hotfix processes across multiple teams balancing SaaSs continuous deployment cadence against mobiles app-store review and rollout constraints.
- Build and maintain build infrastructure (e.g. GitHub Actions Jenkins CircleCI Fastlane Codemagic Bitrise) and keep it fast reliable and well-monitored.
- Implement and enforce environment and configuration management practices (secrets feature flags environment parity) across pipelines.
- Monitor build and release health build times failure rates deployment frequency rollback rates and drive improvements to release velocity and reliability.
- Partner with mobile and SaaS engineering teams to troubleshoot build failures flaky tests and pipeline bottlenecks.
- Establish and document build/release standards runbooks and change-management processes.
- Mentor engineers on CI/CD practices release hygiene and build tooling as needed.
What Youll Bring
- 4-7 years of experience in build/release engineering DevOps or a related role with direct experience supporting both mobile and SaaS/web release pipelines.
- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions Jenkins CircleCI GitLab CI Fastlane Codemagic or Bitrise.
- Experience with mobile release mechanics code signing provisioning profiles/certificates App Store Connect and Google Play Console submission processes and phased/staged rollouts.
- Experience with SaaS deployment models blue/green or canary deployments environment promotion (dev/staging/prod) containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes) and rollback strategies.
- Strong working knowledge of branching strategies (trunk-based development GitFlow release branching) and how to choose/adapt them to team and platform needs.
- Experience with artifact and package management tools (Artifactory Nexus npm registry Maven CocoaPods or similar) including versioning and dependency governance.
- Experience building automated changelog/release notes generation (e.g. from conventional commits PR metadata or tools like semantic-release release-please).
- Solid scripting/programming ability (Python Bash Groovy Ruby or similar) for build automation and tooling.
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and Git-based workflows at scale including monorepo/multi-repo considerations.
- Understanding of infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform Ansible or similar) as applied to build/release infrastructure.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and comfort owning incidents related to failed builds broken releases or blocked deployments.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate release timing and expectations across engineering product and support stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Experience with feature flag/experimentation platforms (LaunchDarkly Optimizely or similar) as part of release management.
- Experience with cross-platform mobile frameworks (Flutter React Native) and how they affect build/release pipelines.
- Familiarity with observability and release health tooling (Datadog Firebase Crashlytics Sentry) to correlate releases with incidents.
- Experience operating in a compliance-conscious environment (SOC 2 GDPR HIPAA) with audit-friendly release processes.
- Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading build/release standards across a growing team.
