We at Coforge are hiring Position (17739-PE-MX-TM2-5) with the following skill set.

As a Senior Release Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the release infrastructure that enables engineering teams at LendingClub to deliver mission-critical services reliably and efficiently. You will play a key role in evolving our CI/CD platform, improving automation, and enabling scalable release processes for modern cloud-native applications.

You will work closely with Software Engineering teams to support our bi-weekly production release cycles and day-to-day patch processes, ensuring deployments are reliable, automated, and efficient.

This role requires strong experience with CI/CD systems, Kubernetes (EKS), automation scripting, and build/deployment pipelines for Java and Node.js services. You will collaborate closely with software engineers, DevOps, and platform teams to ensure fast, reliable, and secure software delivery.

We operate in a highly collaborative and distributed environment, so candidates must be comfortable working with remote teams across multiple time zones. This position also includes 24/7 on-call responsibilities supporting production release infrastructure, and requires the flexibility to work outside standard business hours when needed to support releases, patches, and critical production issues.

You will help shape the strategy and direction of our release infrastructure while ensuring the reliability and efficiency of our production delivery processes.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines that support reliable and repeatable deployments.
• Own and improve release automation processes for microservices running in AWS and Kubernetes (EKS).

• Collaborate with Software Engineering teams to support bi-weekly production releases and day-to-day patch deployments.
• Develop automation tools and scripts (Python/Bash) to improve release reliability and developer productivity.
• Work with DevOps and platform teams to support containerized applications and infrastructure automation.
• Support and troubleshoot build, deployment, and release pipeline issues across environments.
• Enable self-service deployment tooling for engineers while maintaining governance and quality controls.
• Manage and optimize Jenkins pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
• Collaborate with geographically distributed teams to coordinate releases and improve deployment practices.
• Track release metrics and continuously improve deployment performance, reliability, and efficiency.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for release infrastructure, tooling, and automation.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or release engineering roles.
• 5+ years of experience designing and supporting CI/CD pipelines in enterprise environments.
• Strong experience with Jenkins and pipeline-based CI/CD systems.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (preferably AWS EKS).
• Experience supporting and building Java and Node.js application pipelines.
• Experience deploying or supporting serverless applications using AWS Lambda.
• Strong scripting experience using Python and Bash.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD workflows, build pipelines, and release automation.
• Experience working with Git and modern source control workflows.
• Experience supporting containerized applications and microservices architectures.
• Strong knowledge of Linux systems and troubleshooting deployment issues.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a passion for automation and continuous improvement.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills when working with engineering and platform teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
• Experience with GitHub Actions or GitHub Workflows.
• Experience with AWS services beyond Lambda (EKS, EC2, S3, etc.).
• Familiarity with release governance, compliance, and change management processes.
• Experience migrating applications from datacenter environments to AWS.
• Experience building developer self-service deployment platforms.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Grafana, Datadog, or Splunk.
• Experience working with REST APIs for CI/CD integrations (Jenkins, GitHub, Jira, Confluence).
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools to improve engineering productivity, automation, and troubleshooting
