Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support phased rollouts and safe deployment practices
• Implement telemetry-driven release gates using crash, reliability, and performance signals
• Monitor live rollout health and identify anomalies, regressions, or crash spikes
• Promote, pause, or halt deployments based on real-time health indicators
• Develop automation to replace manual release and validation workflows
• Build dashboards, alerts, and health metrics using observability tools
• Participate in triage and structured incident response workflows
• Investigate reliability regressions and coordinate mitigation with engineering teams
• Continuously improve deployment velocity while maintaining rollout stability
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, release, and reliability teams

Requirements:

• 4–6 years of experience in Deployment Engineering, Release Engineering, or DevOps automation
• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines and phased rollout mechanisms
• Strong understanding of safe deployment strategies (health gates, rollback logic, flighting, staged rollouts)
• 3–5 years of experience working with telemetry, crash diagnostics, and reliability metrics
• Experience writing complex queries in telemetry platforms (e.g., Kusto or similar tools)
• Experience building dashboards, automated alerts, and anomaly detection workflows
• 2–4 years of experience in incident response or operational engineering
• Proven ability to triage regressions and coordinate mitigations in production environments
• Strong scripting or automation skills (PowerShell, Python, C#, or similar)
• Experience working in cross-team, production-facing environments
• Experience with client or consumer-facing software deployments
• Background in media pipelines, codecs, or performance-sensitive systems
• Experience working with structured incident management systems
• Familiarity with ETW/WPP tracing or similar diagnostic tooling
• Experience designing stop-on-spike or automated halt mechanisms during rollouts
• Experience improving release velocity through automation transformation initiatives
