We're looking for a Release Engineering Lead who's passionate about building clean, scalable release processes and automating complexity away. This is a technical product/project management role designed for someone who thrives on bringing structure to software delivery and then scaling themselves out of the day-to-day.

Your initial mission will be to establish a consistent, efficient release management pipeline for ICEYE's diverse engineering teams. Once that foundation is in place, your scope will grow to cover broader engineering operations and cross-functional project initiatives.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Release Process Design: Define and implement standardized release
processes across cloud and on-prem environments, ensuring predictability, traceability, and automation.
Automation & Tooling:
Work closely with Developer Enablement and DevOps teams to automate release pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and deployment verification.
Project Ownership:
Act as a project lead for release management, coordinating timelines, risks, and dependencies across multiple engineering and product teams.
Operational Stability:
Establish metrics, dashboards, and alerts for release quality and frequency. Drive improvements using data-driven decision making.
Scale Beyond Releases:
After stabilizing the release domain, transition into broader engineering program management—leading high-impact technical initiatives and contributing to long-term organizational strategy.

Required Qualifications

5+ years in software project or product management roles, preferably in engineering or platform teams.
Strong understanding of software development and delivery pipelines (CI/CD, GitOps, container orchestration, etc.).
Familiarity with modern DevOps and release automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Flux CD).
Demonstrated experience improving or automating release or deployment workflows.
Adept at managing technical stakeholders, coordinating cross-team initiatives, and delivering structured outcomes.
Clear, concise communication skills and an ability to lead through influence.

Nice to Have

Experience with release engineering in hybrid environments (cloud/on-prem).
Background in infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering teams.
Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, Flux CD, or similar technologies.
Previous experience in scaling engineering operations or working in aerospace/defense sectors.

Benefits

What We Offer

A mission-driven role in a pioneering space tech company.
The autonomy to build and scale critical engineering operations.
Exposure to high-velocity satellite software development.
A flat, collaborative environment with smart, driven colleagues.
Competitive salary and stock options.
