About the role
<div class="content-intro"><p>We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.</p> <p>This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.</p></div><p><strong>THE ROLE</strong></p> <p>We are seeking a highly technical Lead Release Engineer with a strong engineering foundation to lead the end-to-end release lifecycle of our storage products. You will serve as the bridge between Development, QA, and Product Management — ensuring that complex storage stacks are delivered with high quality and predictable cadences.</p> <p>Unlike traditional project-based release management, this role demands deep hands-on expertise across CI/CD orchestration, codeline management, system-level triaging, fleet operations, and the engineering rigor required for data-critical products. You will own the health of our release pipelines, lead triage war rooms, drive automation initiatives, and participate in on-call rotations to keep CI and test-orchestration infrastructure running reliably. You will also build developer-facing tooling, manage HW test fleet operations, and maintain high-quality integration workflows across our codelines.</p> <p><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Release Orchestration:</strong> Own the end-to-end release process for storage software and firmware, from development to GA (General Availability).</li> <li><strong>CI/CD Leadership:</strong> Design and build optimized pipelines and tools to scale code management and merge operations. Work closely with systems such as Jenkins, test frameworks, Premerge, Orchestrator, and related developer productivity tooling to keep the codeline healthy and actionable.</li> <li><strong>Technical Triaging:</strong> Act as the primary technical point of contact during the "war room" phases of a release. You must be able to understand bug reports, analyze logs, and work with engineers to prioritize fixes based on product impact.</li> <li><strong>Quality Governance:</strong> Lead or contribute to cross-functional projects with engineering teams and TPMs to improve CI and release quality, developer experience, and overall reliability. Partner with product and infrastructure teams to find issues earlier in the pipeline, improve signal quality, and reduce manual toil in triage and merge operations.</li> <li><strong>SDLC Optimization:</strong> Continuously improve the SDLC by identifying bottlenecks in the build-test-deploy loop and implementing automated gates.</li>
