Job Description:Software Engineering Manager – Build and Release Engineering
We are seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for build, release engineering, source code administration, and sandbox tooling supporting large-scale systems, including the release pipeline for HPE Networking's JUNOS and EVO platforms. This is a working manager role: you will set direction and manage a high-performing team while staying directly engaged in the engineering work. The role combines technical depth with people leadership, requiring the ability to build and mentor high-performing engineers while driving strategic DevSecOps initiatives across the organization.
As a leader, you will define and execute the roadmap for CI/CD infrastructure, source code administration, and developer sandbox environments; partner with cross-functional engineering, release, and product managers; and establish best practices that enable scalable, reliable, high-velocity development workflows, all while remaining close enough to the code and systems to guide technical decisions credibly and unblock your team when needed.
What you will do :
Lead, mentor, and grow a team responsible for build, release engineering, source code administration, and sandbox tooling for large-scale systems, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement, while staying directly engaged in the codebase and infrastructure.
Personally contribute to architecture, design reviews, and complex debugging for CI/CD platforms, source control systems, and sandbox infrastructure, not just direct the work from a distance.
Own the architecture, scalability, and reliability of enterprise-wide CI/CD, source code management, and sandbox platforms, staying technically deep enough to make and defend design decisions.
Define and drive the CI/CD, source code administration, and automation strategy for JUNOS and EVO platform delivery, aligning with broader engineering and business objectives.

Drive adoption of AI/ML-driven automation and observability to improve pipeline efficiency, detect issues early, and reduce cycle time.
Ensure production CI/CD, SCM, and sandbox systems meet high standards for availability, performance, scalability, and security; act as a technical escalation point during critical incidents.
Lead incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement efforts across CI/CD, SCM, and sandbox infrastructure, often diagnosing issues directly alongside the team.

Proven experience architecting and operating large-scale CI/CD, source code management( Gerrit, SVN, Gitlab, Github) and sandbox systems in complex, multi-repository environments.
Deep expertise in CI/CD tools and frameworks (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) at enterprise scale.
Experience generating and managing SBOM and VEX reports, and integrating supply chain security and vulnerability management into build and release pipelines.
Strong proficiency in programming/scripting (Python, Bash, Go, or similar), with the ability to personally build and debug automation, not just review it.
Strong Linux systems expertise and operational troubleshooting skills for C/C++/Rust-based build systems.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence technical direction, backed by credible, direct engineering experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience migrating large-scale build, release, or source code systems across geographies.
Experience applying AI/ML techniques for intelligent automation, observability, or anomaly detection.
