Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Release Engineer - **Company:** Nymbus, Inc. - **Location:** Jacksonville, FL, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $115,000.0 - $125,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Software as a Service, Software Deployment, Software Engineering, GitHub Copilot, Kubernetes, Rancher - **Published:** July 17, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5b3622983d30d8f1 ## About the Role * At least 2 years hands-on experience with Helm and Kubernetes in a production environment. * Familiarity with ArgoCD and Rancher, strongly preferred. * Experience deploying and troubleshooting workloads on AWS is a strong plus. * Comfort using AI coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) as a daily part of your workflow, not just for autocomplete but for drafting merge requests and building internal tooling. * A builder's instinct: when you spot a repetitive task, your first thought is how to script or automate it away. * Experience in a regulated or high-availability environment (fintech, banking, or SaaS platforms serving enterprise clients) is a meaningful advantage. * Strong process discipline and clear communication. You follow procedure rigorously, speak up early when something looks wrong, and don't cut corners under time pressure. * Comfort with off-hours work as a routine part of the role, not an exception. * Off-hours availability required for scheduled production deployments. ## Description We're hiring a Release Engineer to join our growing Release Engineering team. You'll be the hands-on practitioner responsible for executing production deployments across the Nymbus platform, working at the intersection of deployment tooling and product knowledge. You'll execute releases with precision, validate behavior post-deployment, and help maintain the stability of a platform that financial institutions depend on. This is a high-trust, high-accountability role. You'll have direct access to production environments and be expected to exercise sound judgment in every action you take. We're not looking for someone to run a checklist. We're looking for a technical contributor who understands what they're deploying, why it matters, and what to watch for. You'll join as part of the founding team building out our Release Engineering function, with a clear path to growing into a senior/technical lead role as you take on more ownership. Our platform is hosted on AWS, so prior AWS experience is a strong plus for this role. ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES: * Execute production and non-production deployments using Helm, ArgoCD, and Rancher, following established release procedures and exercising independent judgment when conditions deviate from expected. * Manage Helm chart configurations and releases, ensuring deployments are consistent, repeatable, and aligned with the intended release state across environments. * Use ArgoCD to monitor application sync status, manage rollouts, and respond to drift or deployment failures in a timely and methodical manner. * Operate within Rancher to manage Kubernetes cluster workloads, validate pod health, and troubleshoot deployment-level issues across environments. * Build working knowledge of the Nymbus platform architecture to inform deployment decisions and speed up issue diagnosis. * Participate in off-hours release windows, including evenings and weekends as scheduled, to support deployments that require low-traffic maintenance windows. * Monitor system behavior immediately following deployments, identifying anomalies early and escalating or rolling back as appropriate. * Contribute to release documentation, deployment runbooks, and post-release summaries. * Partner with the Release Coordination team to confirm deployment readiness, flag blockers early, and maintain clear communication throughout the release cycle. * Use AI coding tools as a core part of how you work: drafting and reviewing merge requests, generating boilerplate config and chart changes, and speeding up routine deployment tasks. * Identify repetitive or manual steps in the release process and build small tools, scripts, or automations (AI-assisted or otherwise) to eliminate them and streamline the team's workflow. ## Related Videos - [AI Pair Programming with GitHub Copilot at SAP: Looking Back, Looking Forward!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1546-ai-pair-programming-with-github-copilot-at-sap-looking-back-looking-forward) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [GitHub Copilot Beyond the Basics - 10 Ways to Elevate Your Coding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1011-github-copilot-beyond-the-basics-10-ways-to-elevate-your-coding) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
