This role is open for both SDEII and SSE roles. As a SDE II / SSE on the GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) Release team, you will play a critical role in building, validating, and delivering the software artifacts that enable GHES to ship reliably to customers worldwide. This team owns critical parts of the GHES release pipeline, including OS and container builds across the platform, infrastructure, and application layers; package generation and certification; integration test environments; and distribution of release artifacts through Azure, AWS, and GCP.
In this role, you will work across engineering teams to improve release reliability, accelerate issue detection and triage, and ensure GHES ships as a high-quality, secure, and dependable appliance for enterprise customers.
Own and improve the systems that build GHES operating system images, containers, and appliance artifacts across platform, infrastructure, and application layers.
Design, maintain, and evolve the release pipelines that generate, validate, and certify packages for GHES customer delivery.
Build and operate integration test environments for GHES, ensuring they are reliable, representative, and scalable for continuous validation.
Drive CI quality by improving test execution, signal reliability, issue detection, triage, and partnership with feature teams to resolve failures.
Enable publication and distribution of GHES artifacts to Azure, AWS, and GCP for customer consumption.
Partner with engineers across platform, infra, release, and product teams to improve release readiness, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
Improve the safety, repeatability, observability, and compliance of release and certification workflows.
Lead technical investments that reduce release friction, improve engineering velocity, and increase confidence in shipped builds.
Contribute across the end-to-end GHES release lifecycle, from build and package generation through validation, certification, and customer delivery.
Provide operational support for release infrastructure and lead investigation and resolution of critical issues impacting build, test, certification, or package delivery.
