Role Overview

This leader will own platform stability, release discipline, and defect prevention across the Company

You’ll manage a small but high-impact team that :

Runs predictable release cycles with excellent communication.

Balances automated and manual testing to catch issues early.
Provides strong production support through deep root cause analysis (RCA) and preventative

measures (e.g., 5 Whys).

Drives DevOps practices to deliver reliable, zero-downtime deployments. You’ll be the person the organization looks to for confidence in every release.

Key Responsibilities

Release Management & Change Control

Own the end-to-end release process : planning, approvals, cutover, post-release validation.

Implement structured change management with phase gates, release notes, rollback / roll-

forward playbooks, and clear go / no-go criteria.

Lead release communications to internal teams, customers, and stakeholders—building trust

and predictability.

Balance speed vs. risk; ensure compliance with security and audit requirements (SOC 2, ISO

27001).

Quality Assurance (Automation + Manual)

Define and execute a hybrid QA strategy : automation-first, but with structured manual testing for

edge cases, UX validation, and exploratory testing.

Oversee regression, functional, performance, and security testing.

Enforce quality gates in CI / CD; partner with engineers on “shift-left” practices.

Measure and reduce defect leakage, ensuring defects are prevented—not just detected.

Production Support & Stability

Act as the owner of platform stability—leading incident response, root cause analysis, and preventative measures actions.

Institutionalize blameless postmortems and 5 Whys methodology to drive learning.

Track SLOs and SLIs (uptime, latency, error rates); enforce error budgets as part of release gating.

Continuously reduce MTTR (mean time to recovery) and P1 / P2 recurrence rates.

DevOps & Reliability Engineering

Lead CI / CD, infrastructure as code, and deployment automation.

Implement progressive delivery (blue / green, canary, feature flags).

Maintain observability : dashboards, alerting, and synthetic monitoring.

Ensure zero-downtime releases and backwards compatibility for a multi-tenant SaaS environment.

Qualifications

Track record of delivering stable, high-quality SaaS releases at scale.

Strong background in change management, release governance, and stakeholder communication.

Hands-on with CI / CD, cloud-native infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP), observability, and modern

QA tooling.

Experienced in manual and automated testing practices—able to build both strategy and

discipline.

Strong analytical / problem-solving skills; proven ability to lead root cause analysis and preventative action.

Collaborative leader with excellent cross-functional influence. Success in This Role Looks Like

Predictable releases with fewer escaped defects and zero major outages.

High confidence in release quality from Product, Support, and Customers.

Clear and timely release communications—no surprises.

Strong RCA discipline : production issues decline over time as preventions are implemented.

QA team respected as a partner, not a gatekeeper.
