Description:

As the Senior Release Engineer for KinderCare, you define and maintain the processes that get the code from the developers machines to our teachers, our business, and our families. Every day, you’ll lead the technical direction by identifying suboptimally used systems, assessing the capabilities gap, and then creating the plan forward. To thrive in this role you have to have experience deploying code working in an all Windows environment using Powershell for automation and have ideas on how to design sustainable solutions for the release department. You’ll also need to be a SME in these tools\: Octopus, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence.
