Release Engineer

Job description

Remote - EMEA. EngFlow does more than make builds faster. It improves the operating performance of the whole engineering organization. The best teams can assemble powerful build and test infrastructure; the hard part is operating it reliably, with visibility and cost control, as demand grows. That is Build Management at AI Scale: operating build and test as production infrastructure, including execution, observability, reliability, and cost control, so teams can build, test, diagnose, and release even as they write code at AI speed. Engineering organizations, including BMW, Databricks, Snap, Canva, Lyft, and Asana, run on EngFlow. The result is high performance at scale. EngFlow was founded by the engineers who created and maintain Bazel, and is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global. Learn more about our mission, culture, and team: EngFlow | Video Companies like Canva, Databricks, and MongoDB rely on EngFlow to keep their builds fast and their engineers unblocked. As a Release Engineer, you're the person who makes sure our platform gets to them — reliably, on cadence, every week. You'll own the full release lifecycle for EngFlow's remote execution platform: from cutting the release and managing phased rollouts across dozens of production clusters worldwide, to triaging regressions, keeping CI green, and driving the operational discipline that lets the rest of the engineering team move fast. You'll work directly with a wide range of engineers, including EngFlow product engineers and Bazel contributors.. If you're interested in high-ownership work, care deeply about reliability, and want to understand a complex distributed system end-to-end, this is a role where you'll matter from day one. Key Responsibilities: Own the release cycle: Drive the weekly releases from branch cut to full production rollout. Manage phased deployment across rc, preview, general, and cautious tracks using Terraform and internal tooling — balancing speed with the stability our customers depend on. Keep production healthy: Deploy configuration changes to a global fleet of clusters, resolve Terraform drift, and ensure every cluster stays within its maintenance and certificate windows. Run the rotation: Each week one engineer shields the team from operational noise — that's you, on rotation. Triage the Linear queue daily, route issues to the right team, investigate customer-repo…
