• Automate Release Readiness efforts end-to-end, establishing best practices and standardizing release processes and tooling across the organization.
• Identify manual, repetitive release workflows and prioritize them for AI‑driven or scripted automation.
• Partner with engineering and platform teams to integrate AI agents into existing CI/CD and release tooling.
• Release Readiness & Compliance
• Confirm completion of necessary documentation, training materials, and internal handoffs ahead of release.
• Create and manage deployment tickets for production releases and hotfixes, coordinating necessary approvals and processes.
• Ensure all release activities adhere to established compliance and security requirements, and support ongoing compliance audits.
• Issue & Defect Management
• Lead customer defect triage meetings, working with support and engineering teams to prioritize and track issue resolution.
• Monitor post‑release metrics and feedback to identify areas for improvement in release processes and product quality.
• Work closely with customer success and support to understand customer sentiment. Review customer surveys for quality indicators.
• Risk Management & Communication
• Ensure artifacts for compliance (SOC, ISO, etc.) are correct and support audits as required.
• Required Skills and Qualifications
• 1 to 3 years of release management experience, preferably in cloud‑based software development environments.
• AI enthusiast with hands‑on ability to build and deploy AI agents (e. g., using LLM APIs, low‑code agent platforms, or scripting/automation frameworks) to automate release activities and improve operational efficiency and speed.

• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, Dev Ops practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
