[Hiring] Senior Software Release Engineer @General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc

Role Description

We are building a disciplined, automated way to release software across multiple teams. This role will turn releases from a collection of manual steps into a reliable engineering capability: tested, traceable, repeatable, and continuously improving.

You will work closely with engineers to make quality part of the delivery process itself. The goal is not gatekeeping. It helps teams move quickly because releases are well-tested, predictable, and easy to understand.

In a defense environment, release confidence matters. Knowing what was deployed, how it was validated, and how to recover from an issue is essential to secure and dependable software delivery.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field, plus 8 years of relevant experience.
• Experience building, operating, or improving CI/CD pipelines for production software.
• Experience with release engineering practices, including versioning, artifact management, environment promotion, release approvals, and rollback planning.
• Experience implementing automated testing in CI/CD pipelines, including unit, integration, regression, and security testing as appropriate.
• Experience with source control and CI/CD platforms such as Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of software quality practices and the ability to translate testing expectations into practical pipeline controls.
• Strong documentation and cross-functional communication skills.
• U.S. citizenship required.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, a related specialized area or field is required or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience plus a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree plus a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience.
• Ability to obtain a Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire.
• Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
• Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.

Benefits

• Remote — 100% telework
• 9/80 schedule
• Defense industry experience is not required
