COSMOS

We are looking for a highly motivated Build and Release Manager to lead and govern Build and Release activities for the COSMOS Project. The Build Release Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and governing software build and release activities across the product lifecycle, ensuring timely, high-quality, and compliant deliveries aligned with Agile/SAFe PI and Sprint cadences. This role serves as the central point of coordination between development, integration, quality assurance, project management, and customer-facing teams to drive release readiness, build execution, repository synchronization, and delivery management.

The Build Release Manager oversees end-to-end release planning, build candidate creation, versioning, packaging, quality gate compliance, release documentation, and deployment coordination. The role ensures that all software releases meet defined quality standards, traceability requirements, and project governance expectations through effective evidence collection, Software Release Readiness (SRR) management, and stakeholder approvals.

The successful candidate will possess strong expertise in CI/CD pipelines, release management processes, Jira, Confluence, Git-based repository management, and software versioning practices. They will proactively manage release risks, coordinate hotfix and blocker releases, resolve build and integration issues with cross-functional teams, and continuously improve release automation, workflows, and operational efficiencies.

This position requires excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, a strong sense of urgency, and the ability to provide clear release status, risk assessments, and go/no-go recommendations while ensuring smooth collaboration between project management, development, QA, architecture, integration, and external customer teams.
