• Interpret deployment logs and server health metrics to make confident go/no-go decisions during deployment windows.
• Troubleshoot and resolve deployment-related issues under pressure.

• Translate complex technical information into clear and concise executive-level updates.
• Lead structured and effective release calls with global, distributed teams.
• Ensure accountability through detailed minutes of meetings (MoMs), action item tracking, and proactive escalation of issues.

CI/CD & DevOps Fluency

• Navigate and manage CI/CD pipelines using Harness/Lightspeed.
• Champion the adoption of automation in the release process, including ROD, parallel deployments, and automated post-deployment checks.
• Act as a bridge between development and operations teams, fostering a collaborative DevOps culture.

AI-Augmented Release Operations

• Apply GenAI tooling (e.g., Stylus, Copilot) to accelerate the creation of release documentation and runbooks.
• Utilize AI to surface insights into deployment risks and to drive intelligent test data management.
• Embed AI as a force multiplier across the entire release lifecycle to enhance efficiency and quality.

Qualifications

• Proven 10+ Year experience in a Release Engineering, DevOps, or similar role.
• Strong understanding of release orchestration, governance, and change control processes.
