Mobile DevOps, Release & Observability Engineer
teamtailor
Job Description
-
Build CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with reusable workflows; Codemagic or Bitrise; Fastlane for iOS/Android signing and store delivery; MSIX packaging and signing for Windows
-
Own Release Lifecycle: TestFlight, Play Internal/Closed, Microsoft Store/direct MSIX, staged rollouts, mandatory-update paths, crash-driven rollback
-
Manage Signing Keys & Secrets: App Store Connect, Play Console, EV code-signing certificates for Windows; secret hygiene via 1Password Secrets Automation, GitHub OIDC, or equivalent
-
Stand Up Production Observability: Sentry/Crashlytics, OpenTelemetry export, custom metrics for offline behavior, log-redaction discipline for sensitive customer data
-
Build Sideload/MDM Channel: Air-gapped distribution paths for utility and regulated customers including Intune/Workspace ONE workflows
-
Manage Supply-Chain Hygiene: SBOM generation (CycloneDX), dependency pinning, license scanning, basic Dart/Flutter security review
-
Run Infrastructure: CI agents, artifact storage, symbolication services on modest Azure or AWS footprint
-
Carry the Release Pager: Anchor on-call rotation for release and observability incidents, lead postmortems, turn each into pipeline improvement
What we are looking for…
-
Mobile Release Engineering: Shipped at least one product across iOS, Android, and ideally Windows at scale
-
CI/CD for Flutter: Hands-on with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI reusable workflows, Fastlane, Codemagic or Bitrise
-
Code-Signing Fluency: App Store Connect, Play Console, EV certs for Windows with clean secret management story
-
Production Observability: Sentry/Crashlytics setup, OpenTelemetry export, custom metrics, symbolication experience
-
Update Strategy Thinking: Staged rollouts, mandatory updates, optional sideload channels lived through the trade-offs
-
Supply-Chain Hygiene: SBOMs, dependency pinning, license scanning as habits not afterthoughts
-
Operational Ownership: Expect to own both pipeline and production behavior of what it ships
-
Incident Composure: Clear communication during incidents; treat postmortems as products
Desirable (but not required):
-
Prior experience with air-gapped or regulated-customer distribution (utility, military, healthcare)
-
Microsoft Intune or Workspace ONE workflows
-
SRE/DevOps background before moving into mobile release engineering
-
1Password Secrets Automation, HashiCorp Vault, or equivalent secret-management tools
-
Renovate/Dependabot housekeeping at scale
-
Test-driven development for pipeline-as-code and infrastructure modules
-
Small-footprint cloud infra (Azure preferred, AWS also fine)
Benefits and perks…
-
Real Release Problem: Three platforms, four channels, sensitive customer segments to solve for
-
Autonomy: Own the pipeline as a product with a team that respects "automation-first" as a value
-
Observability Investment: Telemetry budget is real and committed from day one
-
Continuous Delivery Culture: No quarterly mega-releases; small changes flow continuously
-
Fully Remote: Async-first defaults with in-person time for release-day reviews
-
