Release

Environments as a service

The role

In this role, your primary responsibility will be working on our large (100k+ lines), modern (Rails 6.x), backend api monolith to design and implement solutions for our customers. You’ll also contribute to the frontend in React and Next.js (we’re transitioning to Next.js). Other technology you’ll work with includes Kubernetes, AWS (EKS, OSS), Go, and GraphQL. As a member of the product engineering team, you’ll collaborate with engineers from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of experience and you’ll contribute to team and company culture.

On a typical day, you’ll work on features and bugs that have been assigned to you, spend time learning about technology we use, chat with colleagues about design and implementation decisions, and review PRs. You’ll have the flexibility to determine your own schedule outside of a few recurring meetings.

About Release

Release is the first EaaS (Environments as a Service) Platform and the simplest way to spin up even the most complicated environments. We specialize in taking customers’ complicated applications and data and making reproducible environments on-demand for every developer on every pull request. Our customers use us for staging environments, QA environments, developer environments, running production, and to run their code in their customers’ cloud accounts.

Release is led by experienced founders who believe in a strong company culture and work-life balance. We’re entirely remote and have two in person meetings per year. Release recently raised a $20M A-round led by CRV and others, and we’re rapidly growing.
