Job Description
Summary
We’re looking for a Release Engineer to support and streamline the delivery of our Mobile (iOS & Android) and Extension (browser-based) applications. This is not a traditional DevOps position — it’s a hands-on, team-facing role focused on ensuring build quality, release consistency, and delivery velocity across platforms.
You’ll work closely with engineers, QA, and product managers to support day-to-day release needs, review cherry-picks, manage builds, validate artifacts, and continuously improve our tooling and processes.
Responsibilities:
- Support engineering teams with day-to-day release tasks, including cherry-pick reviews, build validations, and release coordination
- Own and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Bitrise, GitHub Actions, GitHub Runners, Advanced GH Workflows and CircleCI
- Automate and improve build/test/release workflows via scripting (Bash, TypeScript/JavaScript, etc.)
- Monitor build health, troubleshoot issues, and proactively resolve blockers
- Ensure proper versioning, tagging, and signing of builds for mobile and browser extension platforms
- Submit and track releases on App Store, Play Store, and extension stores (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- Partner with QA to integrate and validate unit, UI, and E2E tests in release workflows
- Maintain clear documentation and checklists for release processes
- Coordinate feature flag rollouts using LaunchDarkly in collaboration with engineering and product
What we're looking for:
- 3+ years of experience in release engineering, CI/CD, or build/release coordination (not just infrastructure)
- Experience supporting cross-functional teams and reviewing/cherry-picking production code branches
- Deep knowledge of CI/CD tools: Bitrise, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitHub Runners
- Strong scripting ability, GH Actions, YML-based systems
- Git workflows (trunk-based, Git Flow) and semantic versioning
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to support fast-moving teams
Would be great if you brought this to the role
- Experience with LaunchDarkly or other feature flag systems
- Understanding of staged rollouts, crash monitoring, and store compliance processes
- Familiarity with extension-specific policies (e.g., CSP, permission management)
- iOS builds & release (Fastlane, Xcode, TestFlight, App Store Connect)
- Android builds & release (Gradle, Play Console)
- Browser extensions (manifest v2/v3, WebExtension APIs, Chrome/Firefox/Edge stores)
- Contributions to release tools, automation frameworks, or documentation in open source or prior roles
Don't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway, detailing your relevant transferable skills in your cover letter. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we're ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role.
