Remote Hybrid
Python Bash Git Docker
Description
Sonatus is a well-funded, fast-paced, and fast-growing company whose technologies and software help automakers build dynamic software-defined vehicles. With two generations of solutions already on the road with a top global OEM, our vehicle and cloud software solutions are at the forefront of the digital transformation of vehicles. The Sonatus team is a talented and diverse collection of technology and automotive specialists hailing from many of the most prominent companies in their respective industries.

Sonatus is a leader in providing technologies and software to global OEMs to build software-defined vehicles. We are looking for a highly motivated Release Engineer as part of Engineering Operations to join our fast-growing team. In this position, you will be responsible for managing the release lifecycle, emphasizing efficiency, automation, and coordination of releases. This role focuses on automating the release management process, including scheduling, version control, and documentation, rather than infrastructure or deployment-related automation. We are looking to fill this position in the Sunnyvale, California or Mississauga area of Canada.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain automation tools to streamline release processes, including version control, release scheduling, and notifications.
  • Implement and improve scripts and tools to automate repetitive tasks in release management, focusing on efficiency and accuracy.
  • Coordinate with engineering, product, and QA teams to create reliable release schedules and ensure all stakeholders are informed.
  • Establish and document best practices for version control, release branching strategies, and release notes.
  • Manage release documentation, including creating detailed release notes, feature lists, and known issues, leveraging automation where possible.
  • Conduct release reviews and post-release retrospectives to identify and implement process improvements.
  • Monitor release timelines and milestones, utilizing automated alerts to keep teams updated on release readiness.
  • Ensure all release-related activities are tracked in release management tools, developing custom automations to enhance tool functionality.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in release management, with a strong focus on process automation.
  • Proficient with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) to support release-related automation.
  • Experience with release management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) and version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN).
  • Excellent project management and organizational skills, with a focus on automation and efficiency.
  • Good knowledge of containerization technologies (e.g. Docker)
  • Strong communication skills for effective cross-functional coordination.

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Experience with CI/CD tools and concepts (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Argo CD), though responsibility for pipeline management lies with separate teams.
  • Familiarity with cloud cost management and optimization strategies.
  • Prior experience automating release processes for distributed, multi-team environments.
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
  • Understanding of security and compliance requirements in release management.
  • Knowledge of observability and monitoring tools/frameworks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, OpenTelemetry).
