About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own release planning and coordination across multiple teams and services—defining release schedules, cut-off dates, freeze windows, and go/no-go criteria.
Design, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions, including build, test, artifact, and deployment stages.
Manage branching, versioning, and release strategies (e.g., trunk-based, release branches, semantic versioning) across PHP, .NET, and React codebases.
Define and enforce quality gates, integrating Selenium and Playwright automated test suites into pipelines so failures block promotion.
Coordinate deployments across environments (dev, staging, production) and own rollback and recovery procedures when releases go sideways.
Drive release readiness reviews—tracking open work items in Azure DevOps Boards, surfacing risks, and ensuring sign-offs are in place.
Maintain clear release notes, change logs, and a complete audit trail for compliance and post-mortem purposes.
Partner with development, QA, security, and infrastructure teams to remove bottlenecks and continuously improve cycle time and deployment frequency.
Establish and report on release metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR) and use them to drive process improvements.
Champion release automation and a culture of repeatable, self-service deployments.
