Responsibilities

Own the release process end-to-end: build, package, deploy, verify, and roll back when needed, making releases repeatable and low-drama
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines (speed + reliability): automate the 'boring but critical' parts of shipping
Implement safer delivery patterns like canary / blue-green / progressive rollouts and feature-flag-driven releases
Production readiness checks: release gates, automated smoke tests, deployment verification, and fast rollback paths
Observability + analytics: ensure every release tells a story via dashboards/metrics (release health, errors, latency, adoption, funnel impact)
Partner with engineering/product to balance speed and stability using reliability concepts like SLOs/error budgets (practical, lightweight, not bureaucracy)
