Job description:

We are 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). You'll 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.

Job responsibilities:

• 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 platform's 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 SaaS's continuous deployment cadence against mobile's 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.

Job requirements

• 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/multirepo 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.

We offer:

• Hybrid Workplace: Flexible work arrangements combining remote and on-site options.

• Excellent Working Conditions: A supportive and productive environment designed for your success.

• Experienced Team: Collaboration with skilled professionals in a dynamic and knowledgeable team.
