Senior Release Engineer

Seattle, WA (Remote)

About Andesite:

After decades defending the nation's most sensitive networks, we founded Andesite with a clear mission: to build security products that transform how humans and AI collaborate to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

We’re a diverse team of cyber and security experts, passionate technologists, and experienced product builders. We come from some of the largest national security, tech, cybersecurity, and data organizations on the planet.

We've raised more than $38 million from investors like General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners.

The future of cybersecurity isn't about better technology alone—it's about reimagining how humans and machines work together. Come build with us.

The Role:

We are looking for a Senior Release Engineer to own the bridge between our engineering "factory" and our diverse customer environments. You will be responsible for the "definition of done" for our software, ensuring that our weekly SaaS updates are seamless and our self-managed bundles are robust, compliant, and audit-ready.

This is a high-impact, hybrid role. You will spend 50% of your time on technical automation (CI/CD, packaging, artifact signing) and 50% on release orchestration (coordinating with Customer Support, Field Engineering, and government compliance officers).  You will have the support of a number of others across departments to deliver regular product updates to our customers!

What You'll Do:

Technical Delivery & Packaging

  • Design and maintain the pipelines that produce our Single-Tenant SaaS updates and our Self-Managed customer bundles.
  • Ensure "Build Once, Deploy Anywhere" consistency across standard cloud and restricted GovCloud environments.
  • Manage artifact lifecycle, including versioning, container registries, and software signing to meet federal security standards.

Release Orchestration & Compliance

  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for ISSM (Information System Security Manager) approvals for GovCloud deployments.
  • Maintain the "Version Map"—tracking which customers are on which versions and managing the complexities of "version lag" for those who opt out of weekly updates.
  • Coordinate across teams to validate bundles before they are shipped to customer-managed environments.

Automation and Metrics

  • Continually improve our release operations and processes through automation
  • Develop and track metrics for release operations, recommend and develop solutions to improve alongside the engineering team.

Communication & Documentation

  • Lead "Go/No-Go" decisions, synthesizing input from QA, Support, and Product.
  • Empower Customer Support and Sales Engineering by providing them with clear "Known Issues" lists and migration paths for each release, with the support of the engineering and product team for input.

What You Have:

  • 5+ years in DevOps, Release Engineering, or SRE, specifically in a company that ships both SaaS and On-Prem/Self-Managed software.
  • Strong communication and coordination skills - you have high agency and can own work end to end through ambiguous situations
  • Deep experience with Docker and Helm
  • Deep experience with AWS, Familiarity with SOC2, FedRAMP, and/or IL4/IL5/IL6 environments. You understand that "compliance" isn't a hurdle; it's a requirement of the build.

Even Better If You Have:

  • Deep experience with Azure and AWS
  • 2+ years experience working in an early stage (Seed / Series A) startup

What We Can Offer:

  • A competitive salary, bonus, and equity package
  • 100% employer paid, comprehensive health insurance including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
  • Unlimited PTO, with your manager’s approval
  • Flexible work environment where you manage your work day
  • A remote-first environment, with occasional travel to collaborate with customers, your team, and teammates from across the company in person
  • 14 weeks of fully-paid parental leave

Salary range: $170,000 - $210,000. This represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience, skills, and other factors.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
