Remote Deployment Manager Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Release Manager to drive and scale release management for NinjaOne’s rapidly growing SaaS platform. In this role, you will define and evolve release processes end-to-end—bringing structure and consistency to how we plan, coordinate, and deliver across teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to align scope, manage dependencies, and ensure smooth, reliable releases.

You’ll play a key role in building scalable systems and processes, simplifying complexity, and solving ambiguous challenges in a fast-paced environment. This role requires a hands-on, data-driven approach to improving release performance and enabling teams to move faster with confidence as we continue to grow.

We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres; supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS.  Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.
