About the role

Build & Release Engineer role focused on owning release cuts, version uprevs, CI/CD pipelines, artifact management, and the internal Release Management portal at Applied Intuition. Hands-on software engineering position requiring robust coding proficiency and deep CI/CD expertise to build and maintain a live internal application.

Responsibilities

  • Execute release cuts from Git repositories across multiple product lines and branches.
  • Manage version uprevs end to end, coordinating dependency and firmware bumps with upstream teams.
  • Define and own release branching, tagging, and versioning strategies.
  • Investigate and resolve complex build failures, coordinating fixes across development teams.
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable software release CI/CD pipelines for build, test orchestration, and deployment.
  • Automate build infrastructure to reduce manual effort and enforce pipeline quality gates.
  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures to ensure high availability and reliability for development teams.
  • Own the artifact lifecycle, including versioning, signing, storage, and cross-environment promotion.
  • Maintain strict artifact provenance and traceability from commit to release.
  • Administer and optimize artifact repositories (e.g., Artifactory).
  • Develop and maintain the internal Release Management portal — the system of record for build artifacts, binaries, and release status.
  • Ship new features for the portal as its primary engineer, including UI, backend services, and external integrations.
  • Integrate the portal with CI/CD systems, artifact repositories, and downstream release workflows.
  • Partner with the Program Validation team and TPMs on release gate criteria and final sign-off.
  • Coordinate with domain teams (Embedded, UX/HMI, OTA etc) on release timing, risks, and blockers.
  • Communicate release status and critical path risks to stakeholders.

  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buildkite)
  • Strong Git experience, including branching, tagging, and release workflows
  • Experience with artifact management systems (e.g., JFrog Artifactory, Nexus, or equivalent)
