Job Description
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Build and Release Automation Engineer based in the United States.
This role is a senior technical leadership opportunity focused on building and scaling world-class CI/CD and software delivery platforms for large-scale SaaS environments. You will architect the systems and standards that define how software is built, tested, versioned, secured, and released across hundreds of services and repositories. The position plays a critical role in improving engineering velocity, reducing deployment risk, and strengthening software supply-chain security. You will work across Development, Security, QA, and Platform Engineering teams to establish “golden paths” for delivery automation. The environment is fast-moving, highly collaborative, and deeply focused on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. This is a high-impact role shaping the future of enterprise-grade software delivery at scale.
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.
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.
- 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.
