• End to end release ownership across applications, ensuring timelines, dependencies, and risks are tightly managed.
• Hands on CI/CD engineering expertise, including building, maintaining, and troubleshooting pipelines.
• Strong Dev Sec Ops  discipline with integrated security controls and solid change/incident management.

Integration planning with other apps.

Release Planning & Governance

• Own the maintenance of end-to-end release calendar, milestones, and scope across applications/services and environments (dev/test/stage/prod).
• Facilitate release planning ceremonies: scope reviews, go/no-go, readiness checkpoints, cutover rehearsals, and PIRs (post-implementation reviews).
• Coordinate with Modern Sales and Shared Services teams to align release content, dependencies, and windows.
• Ensure adherence to the Management Model SOPs for change, risk, approvals, and documentation.
• Change, Incident, & Ticket Management, including:
• Own all release-related tickets and workflows in the designated system (e.g., Change Requests, Release Records, CAB submissions, approvals).
• Ensure tickets meet SOP criteria: correct metadata, risk ratings, rollback/contingency plans, test evidence, and stakeholder sign-offs.
• Serve as the first escalation point for release incidents; manage war rooms, communications, and coordinated recovery.
• Perform root-cause analysis (RCA) and track corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) to closure.

• Build, operate, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines (e.g., YAML pipelines, build agents, artifact/versioning strategy, approvals, gate policies).
• Execute release activities hands-on: tagging, packaging, artifact promotion, parameterization, configuration, and deployment orchestrations.
• Maintain pipeline-as-code standards, templates, and reusable components for consistency and scale.
• Optimize build/test stages (parallelization, caching, selective test runs) to improve lead time and reliability.

• Integrate security controls into the pipeline (SAST, SCA, secret scanning, container/image scanning, SBOM generation).
• Enforce policy gates for quality and security thresholds (coverage, critical findings, license violations) prior to promotion.
• Partner with Security and Compliance to implement vulnerability triage workflows, risk exceptions, and remediation SLAs.
• Ensure approved artifacts/process steps, provenance/attestations, and secure supply-chain practices (e.g., least-privileged credentials, key rotation).

• Collaborate with the Enterprise Dev Ops team to automate release and build processes end-to-end (infrastructure, pipelines, testing, deployments).
• Contribute to and adopt enterprise standards (tooling, runners/agents, templates, guardrails, observability).
• Drive “shift-left” automation: automated environment provisioning, config-as-code, test data seeding, and blue/green/canary strategies.
• Champion infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices for environment consistency and repeatability (e.g., Terraform/Bicep/ARM/Ansible).

• Ensure test strategy coverage per release: unit, integration, API, performance, security, and UAT.
• Enforce quality gates in pipelines (test pass rates, defect leakage thresholds, performance baselines).
• Coordinate test data management and environment readiness; prevent “test flakiness” via stabilization efforts and quarantines.
• Ensure IT Testing is attached for each User Story, includes following up proactively throughout the release for testing evidence as stories are sent for PR review.

• Manage environment (Production is primary, but will also have responsibilities on lower environments), including sequencing, freeze windows, and…
