Staff Engineer - Releases

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Engineer - Releases based in Australia.

As a Staff Engineer, you will help shape a foundational release control platform used by leading engineering teams to ship software safely and efficiently. You’ll own technical direction across release architecture, data models, integrations, governance, and progressive delivery capabilities. The role combines hands-on engineering with architectural leadership and cross-team influence.

You’ll solve complex problems involving distributed systems, reliability, security, scalability, and developer experience. Your work will help teams gain a trusted, auditable view of what was released, where it was deployed, and whether governance requirements were met.

You’ll also help evolve the platform toward advanced deployment orchestration, including canary releases, staged rollouts, automated promotion, and rollback. This is a remote-first technical leadership role with significant autonomy and opportunities to influence engineering practices across the organization.
