We collaborate with Program Validation for release gate sign-off and work alongside the Embedded, UX/HMI, and OTA domain teams to maintain release momentum and prevent last-minute emergencies., We are looking for a Build & Release Engineer to own release cuts from our Git repositories, manage uprevs (dependency/firmware version updates), build and maintain our CI/CD pipelines, and administer build artifact management. You will also own our internal Release Management portal - the system where all build artifacts and binaries are tracked, managed, and released - as its primary engineer. This hands-on software engineering position demands robust coding proficiency alongside deep CI/CD expertise, as you will actively build and maintain a live application rather than just configuring pipelines. At Applied Intuition, you will: Release Engineering & Orchestration * Execute release cuts from Git repositories across multiple product lines and branches. * Manage version uprevs end to end, coordinating dependency and firmware bumps with upstream teams. * Define and own release branching, tagging, and versioning strategies. * Investigate and resolve complex build failures, coordinating fixes across development teams. CI/CD Infrastructure * Design, build, and maintain scalable software release CI/CD pipelines for build, test orchestration, and deployment. * Automate build infrastructure to reduce manual effort and enforce pipeline quality gates. * Troubleshoot pipeline failures to ensure high availability and reliability for development teams. Artifact Lifecycle Management * Own the artifact lifecycle, including versioning, signing, storage, and cross-environment promotion. * Maintain strict artifact provenance and traceability from commit to release. * Administer and optimize artifact repositories (e.g., Artifactory). Internal Tooling & Portals * Develop and maintain the internal Release Management portal - the system of record for build artifacts, binaries, and release status. * Ship new features for the portal as its primary engineer, including UI, backend services, and external integrations. * Integrate the portal with CI/CD systems, artifact repositories, and downstream release workflows. Cross-Functional Alignment * Partner with the Program Validation team and TPMs on release gate criteria and final sign-off. * Coordinate with domain teams (Embedded, UX/HMI, OTA etc) on release timing, risks, and blockers. * Communicate release status and critical path risks to stakeholders. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [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 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
