Job description

As a Release Manager for Regrello, you will be the linchpin between development and operations. You will ensure that updates and new features are delivered efficiently and reliably, minimizing disruptions and maximizing the value derived from the Salesforce platform. This role is critical for coordinating changes, maintaining stability, and ensuring that every feature rollout-from weekly hotfixes to major quarterly releases-goes off without a hitch. Responsibilities

  • Release Quality Control: Ability to push back on releases that are not meeting quality standards and communicate clearly why.
  • Release Execution & Hotfixes: Own the execution and coordination of weekly hotfixes, serving as the primary lead for ā€œpressing the buttonā€ to deploy critical updates and bug fixes.
  • Major Release Management: Own the end-to-end schedule and logistics for major feature releases, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned and business-critical systems remain stable.
  • Infrastructure & Deployment: Manage and monitor deployments specifically within Hyperforce and Falcon environments, ensuring high standards for reliability and performance.
  • Environment Syncing: Manage multiple environments (development, testing, staging, and production) and ensure they stay in sync across the entire release pipeline.
  • Version Control & Collaboration: Maintain version control systems to track changes, manage code merges, and resolve conflicts among development teams to maintain codebase integrity.
  • Governance & Compliance: Enforce governance policies to ensure all deployments comply with organizational standards and identify opportunities for CI/CD process improvements.
  • Communication: Provide regular status updates to stakeholders, prepare comprehensive release notes, and ensure all deployment documentation is accurate and up to date.
  • Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow by pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code.
  • Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into human workflows, driving efficiency and innovation at scale.
  • Contribute to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably.
  • Critically evaluate code (Human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance.

Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
  • Technical Skills & Scripting Expertise: Strong foundational technical skills with advanced scripting expertise (e.g., Python, Bash, Shell, JavaScript) to drive automation, tool building, and complex troubleshooting.
  • 5+ years of experience in Release Management, DevOps, or Software Engineering within enterprise B2B SaaS environments.
  • Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Hyperforce and Falcon deployment architectures.
  • Salesforce Expertise: In-depth knowledge of the Salesforce platform, including its capabilities, limitations, and best practices.
  • DevOps Tooling: Proven experience with CI/CD tools, version control (e.g., Git), and automated deployment workflows.
  • Project Management: Ability to manage complex release cycles, coordinate with multiple teams, and meet tight deadlines under pressure.
  • Communication: Excellent spoken and written communication skills with the ability to present technical release status to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Operational Rigor: Rigor and consistency in managing release backlogs and executing delivery with a focus on quality and risk mitigation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with the Salesforce platform ecosystem (e.g., APIs, platform services).
  • Salesforce Administrator or Platform App Builder certifications.
  • Specialized certifications in Salesforce DevOps or CI/CD fundamentals.
  • Experience in technical project management leading broad initiatives beyond standard release cycles.
  • A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering. Using AI to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty.
  • Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, etc.) in development workflows.
  • Advanced prompt engineering skills and the ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready.
