DevOps Release Management

Overview

Role Overview

Release Planning & Governance

• Own the Release Management lifecycle: schedule, coordinate, and manage releases across development, QA, UAT, and production environments.
• Define and enforce strict release gates, change management controls, and rollback procedures to ensure system stability and compliance with SAMA regulatory requirements.
• Maintain comprehensive audit trails of all deployments and infrastructure changes for compliance and security reviews.

Ci And Cd Pipeline Architecture

• Design, build, and maintain robust automated CI/CD pipelines for a diverse tech stack, accommodating monolithic packaged applications (ERPNext) and modern microservices.
• Automate testing integration, code quality checks, and security scanning within the deployment pipelines for custom-built middleware, mobile apps, and decision engines.
• Manage environment consistency and configuration drift across all tiers.

Cloud Infrastructure & Container Orchestration

• Manage and scale the underlying GCP infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform).
• Administer and optimize Kubernetes (K8s) clusters for the deployment of proprietary microservices, ensuring efficient resource utilization, auto-scaling, and high availability.
• Manage service meshes, API gateways, and identity/access management configurations (e.g., Keycloak) critical to the middleware's security architecture.

Monitoring & Operations Support

• Implement advanced telemetry, logging, and monitoring solutions across the GCP environment (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) to proactively detect post-release anomalies.
• Collaborate closely with the ITSM Lead and L3 Engineering to troubleshoot deployment failures, database migration issues (e.g., PostgreSQL), and complex network routing problems.

Requirements Qualifications & Technical Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Release Management, ideally within banking, fintech, or a highly regulated industry.
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Deep, hands-on expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
• CI/CD & Automation: Proficiency with enterprise CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD) and configuration management.

• Technical Stack Knowledge

• Experience deploying and managing Java (Spring Boot) and Python applications.
• Strong understanding of relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL, and handling automated database migrations during releases.
• Familiarity with the deployment architectures of Fineract and/or ERPNext (Frappe framework) is highly advantageous.
• Scripting: Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python) for automating routine operational tasks.
• Process Acumen: Deep understanding of Agile methodologies, ITIL release management frameworks, and blue/green or canary deployment strategies.
