Job description

Release Manager

A fast-growing mortgage lender in Southern California is looking for an exceptional Release Manager to build and own its release management function from the ground up. This is not a coordination role. You will design the operating model, establish governance and standards, implement reporting and KPIs, and drive accountability across engineering teams in a fast-moving, AI-first environment. If you have done this before and can prove it, we want to talk.

Compensation and Work Environment

  • Salary: $125,000 to $155,000 annually, depending on experience
  • Location: Santa Ana, CA (hybrid) or fully remote
  • Full-time, exempt

What You Will Do

  • Design and build the release management function from planning through production deployment across multiple engineering pods.
  • Establish release standards, governance frameworks, and change management processes in an Agile environment.
  • Define and implement meaningful KPIs and reporting that give leadership real visibility into release health, risk, and predictability.
  • Identify, track, and manage risks and dependencies across teams to protect release timelines and production stability.
  • Drive accountability across engineering, product, and operations without direct authority over those teams.
  • Build rollback, recovery, and escalation processes for failed or partial releases in a regulated, money-moving environment.
  • Partner with engineering leads and product owners to integrate release gates into CI/CD pipelines and sprint cycles.

What We Are Looking For

  • Proven track record of building or significantly maturing a release management function, not maintaining one someone else built.
  • Experience owning the full release lifecycle end to end, from planning through production, including post-release monitoring.
  • Strong background in governance, risk management, and dependency tracking across multiple concurrent workstreams.
  • Hands-on experience with release and project tooling such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or GitHub Actions.
  • Ability to establish process and drive cross-functional accountability in an environment that lacks formal structure today.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present release status, risk, and metrics clearly to senior leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in mortgage technology, financial services, or another regulated fintech environment.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline integration and automated release gating.
  • Background working alongside Agile development teams and understanding of sprint-based delivery cycles.

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, retirement, and PTO. Comprehensive benefits package available; see link for details.
