Job description

Role Summary :

The Software Release Engineer is responsible for managing the end-to-end release process across multiple environments — from code integration and build validation to CAB approvals, production deployments, and audit compliance. This position demands deep technical expertise in CI / CD pipelines, Git workflow management, and release governance under ITIL-aligned processes. You will execute controlled releases, maintain change records, and uphold traceability from commit to deployment while ensuring full compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements

Key Responsibilities :

1.               Code Integration & Build Automation :

  • Merge, rebase, and cherry-pick code across active branches using industry-standard Git workflows (GitFlow, Trunk, or hybrid).
  • Manage tagging, release branching, and rollback branches to maintain traceable release lineage.
  • Configure, trigger, and troubleshoot builds using Jenkins, GitLab CI / CD, or Azure Pipelines.
  • Ensure artifact signing, dependency locking, and build reproducibility across environments.

2.               Smoke and Validation Testing :

  • Integrate automated smoke and sanity tests post-build before QA handoff or CAB submission.
  • Validate environment health and build stability through CI / CD quality gates.
  • Collaborate with QA to confirm regression coverage and pre-production signoffs.
  • 3.               Release Governance and CAB Coordination :

  • Lead and present Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings for each scheduled release, presenting risk assessments, change scope, and rollback strategies.
  • Prepare and maintain change requests (RFCs) for each build promotion, ensuring formal approval before production movement.
  • Conduct release readiness reviews, Go / No-Go calls, and document outcome summaries per CAB decisions.
  • 4.               Audit Trails & Compliance :

  • Maintain auditable logs of all release activities, including merge histories, build run IDs, deployment timestamps, and approval decisions.
  • Ensure compliance with standards such as ISO 27001 by enforcing documented change control.
  • Participate in periodic release audits, providing detailed evidence of approvals, risks mitigated, and rollback outcomes.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of change control policies and documentation standards.
  • 5.               Deployment and Rollback Execution :

  • Execute and monitor deployments across QA, staging, and production environments, using blue-green or canary rollout strategies where applicable.
  • Automate rollback triggers and maintain rollback playbooks in version-controlled repositories.
  • Work collaboratively with SRE and Infrastructure teams to maintain release reliability and compliance.
  • 6.               Reporting and Documentation :

  • Publish comprehensive release notes, impact documents, build manifests, and version histories.
  • Maintain audit dashboards and release calendars accessible to QA, Product, and Security stakeholders.
  • Generate compliance reports summarizing deviations, exceptions, and control effectiveness.
  • 7.               Vulnerability Assessment and Security :

  • Collaborate with security teams to integrate vulnerability scanning and assessment into the release pipeline, using tools such as OWASP ZAP, Snyk, or Nessus to detect and remediate security vulnerabilities.
  • Ensure compliance with security best practices, including regular penetration testing, dependency scanning for known vulnerabilities, and secure code practices during the release process.
  • Review and approve releases based on vulnerability assessment results, mitigating high-risk issues prior to deployment and documenting any accepted risks.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile :

    You are a hands-on release engineer who thrives in enterprise-controlled environments.

    You understand how every code commit ties into a compliance-approved release and can :

  • Merge branches, fix conflicts, and validate builds quickly.
  • Drive CAB meetings, secure change approvals, and close audit findings.
  • Deliver stable, traceable, and compliant software releases with full visibility and accountability.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field; a Master’s degree is a plus.
  • Proven experience (2-4 years) as a Release Manager or in a similar role within the software development lifecycle, preferably in DevOps or Agile environments.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills, with experience in tools like Azure DevOps or similar.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including advanced verbal and written abilities for cross-team coordination.
  • Knowledge of version control systems (e.g., Git)and release management tools.
  • Familiarity with Agile, DevOps, Scrum, Kanban, or Waterfall methodologies, with hands-on experience participating in sprint planning meetings.
  • Experience with automation tools for release management (e.g., Jenkins) and CI / CD pipelines is required.
  • Working knowledge of software development lifecycle (SDLC), application infrastructure, system architecture, and programming basics.
  • Proficiency in code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube) and vulnerability assessment tools (e.g., Snyk, Veracode, OWASP tools).
  • Problem-solving and decision-making abilities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional work teams toward task completion.
  • Demonstrated effective leadership, analytical, and time management skills.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and orchestration tools is a plus.
  • Bonus Skills :

  • Exposure on usage of AI Tools
  • Location : Bangalore – Whitefield (Onsite)
