Staff / Senior Release Platform Engineer
Senior Release Platform Engineer
You'll be joining Super Technologies' Release Engineering team, which owns the systems that help engineers build, test, release, deploy, observe, and roll back software. This team supports multiple delivery paths across different stacks, CI/CD systems, monorepos and polyrepos, Kubernetes, and GitOps, and is working to bring more coherence to that platform. As a Release Platform Engineer, you'll help build the paved roads that make it easier for teams across the business to ship safely and quickly.
What the role involves
Build and evolve the platform capabilities that product engineers use to get code from commit to production
Improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, release workflows, deployment automation, quality gates, observability, and developer productivity metrics
Consolidate delivery patterns across Go, Erlang, Elixir, JavaScript/TypeScript, and other stacks where it makes sense
Improve the speed and reliability of feedback loops, including PR checks, builds, tests, release pipelines, and deployment signals
Simplify release systems so engineers can resolve most delivery issues without needing a platform engineer in the loop
Embed quality and safety into the default delivery path instead of relying on manual process
Define clear contracts for platform capabilities, covering expected inputs, guarantees provided, how they're measured, and how other platform engineers can extend them
Partner with product teams to identify where delivery is slow, confusing, risky, or painful, and fix the underlying system rather than the symptom
Participate in operational ownership of the systems the team runs, including debugging failures, improving runbooks, reducing toil, and helping make on-call sustainable
What we are looking for
Strong software engineering fundamentals, with the ability to write and review good code, debug complex systems, and reason about trade-offs
Hands-on experience with CI/CD, release tooling, developer platforms, infrastructure platforms, internal tooling, or similar systems
Ability to work across different technology stacks and learn unfamiliar ecosystems without needing perfect context upfront
Experience with containerised or cloud-native systems such as Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, ArgoCD, Terraform, or Helm
A practical platform mindset, with focus on adoption, reliability, simplicity, observability, and real impact for engineers
Good operational instincts, including an understanding of failure modes, rollback paths, incident response, and monitoring
Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to cross-functional teams without relying on jargon
Nice to have
Experience with Bazel, monorepos, remote caching, hermetic builds, or large-scale build systems
Experience with Erlang, Elixir, BEAM operations, rebar3, Mix releases, or high-availability runtime environments
Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript build and release workflows, frontend deployment pipelines, or developer-facing platform UIs
Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Buildkite
Familiarity with SonarQube, static analysis, coverage tooling, test infrastructure, or flaky-test management
Knowledge of DORA, SPACE, CI performance metrics, or engineering effectiveness dashboards
Experience with progressive delivery, canary releases, blue/green deployments, feature flags, or automated rollback
