Release Manager

About the role

evisit is hiring a Release Manager for its Engineering department, working remotely. The role owns the mechanics of moving code from merge to production across every Delivery Team: coordinating the teams, owning the technical and business go/no-go, driving releases from cut to landed, and keeping environments, pipelines and change-control records safe and auditable. It is not a runbook-execution seat.

Key responsibilities

• Execute standard and limited releases and approved hotfixes, define rollback paths and run them when a deployment fails.
• Own the go/no-go decision, including readiness and milestone reviews, and produce a release manifest for every release.
• Enforce the branching model across repositories and keep release branches clean.
• Own the state, availability and scheduling of Devtest, Acceptance, Beta and Production environments.
• Own the build-promotion and deployment pipeline end to end and verify clean landings.
• Keep deploy-pending and validation statuses accurate, report release metrics, and run retrospectives on failed releases.
• Maintain the change-control record for every production push and serve as the source of truth for release history in audits.
• Communicate cut dates, code freezes and release schedules to the business and stakeholders, and notify teams of deployment status in real time.

Required profile

• U.S. citizenship and full-time U.S. residency.
• Availability for off-hours release work on a sustainable schedule.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven release management experience in a SaaS environment, managing multiple concurrent releases across cross-functional teams.

Required skills

• Strong Git competency (branching, merging, squashing, cherry-picking, tagging).
• Working mental model of CI/CD pipelines, containers and images, build artifacts, frontend vs. backend systems, deployment architecture and MySQL concepts such as migrations.
• Excellent project and process management, and strong communication and documentation skills.

Preferred: prior software engineering, engineering management, Agile/Scrum/Ops or database experience; AWS familiarity; regulated-industry release experience (HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP); zero-downtime deployments and feature-flag or progressive-delivery experience; scripting and automation experience.
