  • Assisting with rare or unique release scenarios, such as code freeze exceptions, rollbacks, and hotfixes for production issues.

  • Participate in code reviews for new feature development (e.g. Pull Requests).

• Display the ability to collaborate, while still driving a release process end to end

• Establish consistent release management processes and cadence

• Facilitate cross-department coordination of release management functions

• Develop scripts and automation tools used to build, integrate, and deploy software releases.

What You'll Need:

• A good understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript and experience building web application user interfaces with modern frameworks such as Ember, React, Angular, or Vue.

• A good understanding of and experience with observability tools such as Sentry, SonarQube, and LogScale or Splunk.

• A good understanding of CI/CD pipeline configuration using tools such as Jenkins.

• Familiarity with client-side build processes and tools (e.g. Ember CLI, Webpack, etc.)

• Experience writing command-line scripts using Node.js.

• Experience with testing frameworks, tools and methodologies such as QUnit or Mocha.

• Familiarity with Amazon Web Services

• Comfortable with Git or similar version control systems and workflows.

• A desire to work closely with others to deliver quality software and solve problems.
