Technical Release Manager to lead and coordinate application migration releases as part of our AWS migration program.

The Release Manager will be accountable for release execution discipline, enforcing checklists/playbooks/tollgates, and embedding lessons learned into every migration wave.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with application teams to define migration readiness, dependencies, and cutover plans.

• Coordinate across infrastructure, DevOps, IAM, and InfoSec teams to ensure environments, pipelines, and access controls are ready before migration.

• Lead tollgate reviews and enforce migration checklists, playbooks, and rollback strategies.

• Partner with InfoSec to validate compliance and embed security controls into release criteria.

• Oversee integration of DevOps pipelines (CodePipeline, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) into release processes.

• Validate workload assessment outcomes (dependencies, sizing, performance testing) are addressed before release approval.

• Act as the cutover commander - coordinating app, infra, and security teams during migration go-lives.

• Capture post-release learnings and update:

• Release checklist (e.g., IAM access, monitoring setup, compliance validation)

• Playbook (step-by-step cutover activities)

• Tollgates (approval checkpoints across app, infra, DevOps, IAM, InfoSec)

• Track and report release KPIs (downtime, rollback frequency, defect leakage, migration success rate).

Required Skills & Experience

• 8-12 years of IT experience with 4+ years in Release/Deployment Management in application migration programs.

• Strong understanding of application migration approaches (re-host, re-platform, re-deploy) and workload dependencies.

• exposer with AWS services relevant to app migration:

• Compute: EC2, Lambda, EKS/ECS

• Networking & Access: VPC, Route 53, IAM, Security Groups, KMS

• Storage/Databases: S3, RDS, DynamoDB, DMS/SCT

• Knowledge of DevOps tooling & CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Cloudbee, Terraform).

• Experience coordinating with InfoSec teams for compliance-driven releases (encryption, IAM, audit readiness).

• Proven ability to cut across silos (app, infra, IAM, DevOps, security) and enforce migration readiness before releases.

• Strong troubleshooting skills in application deployment and AWS environment cutovers.
