• Implement self-service release management tools.
• Drive positive change in early defect detection and ensure continuous deployments across the whole HelloTech Organisation.
• Consult with and educate engineers about release strategies, deployment safety, and incident management best practices.

What you’ll bring

• Strong knowledge of CI/CD strategies, including GitOps principles, to streamline deployments and manage configurations effectively.
• Proven experience implementing progressive delivery methods such as canary and blue/green deployments to ensure safe rollouts.
• Experience with distributed systems, particularly working with Kubernetes to manage and orchestrate containerized applications.
• Familiarity with at least one cloud platform (e.g. AWS, Azure, or GCP) and its services.
• Good knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Familiarity with SRE best practices and principles (e.g. SLIs/SLOs, incident management, post-mortems, etc.).
• Experience building highly available and observable systems at scale (preferably in Go or Python).
