Roles and Responsibilities (As Release/DevOps Engineering)
.

As a Release Engineer

• Strategic Release Planning: Drive the planning, coordination, and execution of software releases across multiple products and environments.
• Scalable Infrastructure: Lead initiatives to enhance infrastructure and deployment frameworks supporting mission-critical, highly scalable, and reliable services.
• Improve Deployment Pipelines for DORA Metrics: Continuously refine release processes to reduce lead time, increase deployment frequency, lower change failure rate, and minimize MTTR. Implement automated health checks, canary rollouts, and real-time monitoring for measurable improvements.
• Quick Rollback Mechanisms: Establish reliable rollback and recovery processes (feature flags, automated rollbacks, immutable releases) to ensure issues can be mitigated within defined timelines without customer disruption.
• Mentorship & Best Practices: Guide DevOps and Release team members, sharing industry best practices and improving team performance across projects.
• Operational Excellence: Implement standards and practices to maintain a 99.95% uptime SLA while ensuring reliability and resilience at scale.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Architects, Engineers, Product Managers, and stakeholders to align release strategies with business objectives.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to optimize infrastructure, reduce release friction, and improve deployment velocity.
• On-Call Support: Contribute to the team's monthly on-call rotation, providing expertise in incident management and rapid resolution.

As a DevOps Engineer

• Design & Automate Pipelines: Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Spinnaker) to accelerate software delivery.
• Champion Next-Gen Tools: Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies such as GitOps, progressive delivery (e.g., Flagger, Argo Rollouts), and AI-driven testing tools to modernize release processes.
• Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Expertise: Design and manage scalable Kubernetes-based environments using Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps principles. Implement advanced deployment strategies such as canary, blue/green, and rolling updates.
• Monitoring & Observability: Integrate advanced monitoring, logging, and AIOps solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry) into pipelines to ensure high visibility and rapid incident response.
• Security by Design: Implement DevSecOps practices, embedding vulnerability scanning, policy-as-code (OPA, Kyverno), and secrets management into pipelines.
• Performance & Scalability: Continuously optimize CI/CD pipelines for speed, reliability, and scalability to support hundreds of daily deployments.
• Collaboration: Work closely with developers and QA teams to enable continuous testing, shift-left strategies, and fast feedback loops.

Qualification
Experience & Expertise:

• 8+ years in enterprise or SaaS software development/operations, with strong DevOps engineering and release management experience.
• Proven track record of setting up end-to-end, fully automated delivery pipelines (source control, build, artifact management, deployment, monitoring).
• Excellent communicator with strong presentation skills, able to influence, align, and mentor across teams.
• Results-driven and impact-focused, with a sharp eye on scalability, reliability, and business value.

As a Release Engineer

• Deliver scalable, resilient, high-velocity software releases with operational excellence.
• Drive strategic release planning and collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline processes.
