- Drive the automation of release and deployment processes to reduce manual intervention and increase deployment efficiency.- Implement and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, incorporating automated testing, quality checks, and rollback procedures.- Continuously evaluate and improve the automation tools and frameworks to streamline the release workflow and ensure scalability.

Cross-functional coordination

- Liaise with development, QA, infrastructure, and support teams to ensure coordinated efforts across all releases.- Work closely with stakeholders to ensure that business requirements and project timelines are met without compromising on quality.- Communicate release schedules, potential risks, and post-release outcomes to all stakeholders.

Documentation and Compliance

- Maintain detailed records of all environment configurations, release schedules, deployment procedures, and associated risks.- Ensure compliance with all internal and external audit requirements.- Ensure that appropriate change and release governance processes are followed.

Key Performance Indicators

- Monitor and report metrics related to environment downtime, failed releases, and deployment issues.- Establish early warning systems to identify and mitigate risks associated with software delivery.- Ensure timely rollback plans are in place for critical releases.- Reduce the risk of release-related outages by implementing best practices in release and change management.

Qualifications, Experience & Expertise

- A bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Technology, or a related field.- Overall 8-12 years of experience with 5+ years of experience in release management, environment management, or similar roles, preferably in the banking or financial services sector.- Proficiency in managing environments for large-scale platforms, preferably TCS Bancs or similar trading platforms.- Strong knowledge of Release Management processes and tools like Jenkins, Bamboo, Octopus, or equivalent CI/CD tools.- Hands-on experience with Unix/Linux systems administration and scripting.- Experience with DevOps tools and automation techniques for environment provisioning and release management.- Familiarity with version control systems like Git, SVN, or equivalent.- Experience working with containerization technologies (Docker/Kubernetes) and virtualization platforms.- Strong understanding of database management (Oracle, SQL, etc.) for environment setup and maintenance.- Working knowledge of ITIL framework and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
