Job Profile
A hands-on technical DevOps Release Management Lead. Candidate will be responsible for the management of the end to end release process for several core systems within the HR data distribution space. This includes release planning, execution of the test cycle and ultimately the deployment to the production environment.
Throughout the process, you will need to communicate accurate status to a variety of stakeholders including managers within the IT and Business areas. If issues arise you will be expected to help debug & resolve or escalate appropriately. You will be communicating the release notes to the business and they will expect timely delivery of the actual production release.
As the guardian for the release process, you will be the face-off to the development team. You will need to manage the release candidate which is likely to include new features, bug fixes, patches and similar requests. Where you and your team detect problems within a release candidate, it will be your responsibility to help identify the causing JIRA and work with the relevant development team to resolve. You will also need to work closely with developers on how a feature needs to be rolled out and, of course, how it might be rolled-back if an issue is seen.
The role will require the day to day management code and deployment in all environments. This might include improving our current framework, or even re-architecting parts of our test and deployment process.
Candidate is likely to have come from a software development background. However, you will have had recent proven experience in a testing / release / devops / automation role. You might be entirely hands-on today developing test and release tooling;
The role requires someone who is flexible, able to respond to a dynamic business environment and able to take ownership and responsibility for the delivery deadlines. The candidate should possess good analytical skills, good software engineering skills, a logical approach to problem solving, be able to work in a fast paced environment liaising with demanding stakeholders to understand complex requirements, have experience in complex data domains and be able to prioritise under pressure with minimal supervision.
The production deployment activities will require some weekend work.
