Every release has to land across firmware, software, and cloud services, and you'll be the person who makes that happen on time and correctly. You'll run the release calendar, readiness reviews and go/no-go calls, manage staged firmware rollouts to devices in the field, and keep our release tooling working. You'll partner closely with our Senior TPM, who owns program health and the overall operating rhythm.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn the release calendar and versioning for firmware OTA updates, mobile app releases and backend deployments.\nRun release readiness reviews and go/no-go calls, and coordinate release-night execution with engineering, QA, support and our offshore teams.\nManage staged FOTA rollouts: define cohorts and stages, monitor device health, and pause or roll back when needed.\nOwn code freezes, including holiday freezes, and the exception process.\nOwn pre-release builds and distribution for UAT, internal testing, influencers and media.\nOwn the release configuration in Jira: fix versions, release workflows and automated release notes.\nPlan release and incident coverage for holidays and high-risk launches, with clear escalation paths.\nWrite and maintain release runbooks so anyone on the team can follow the process.\nTrack release quality after every release and share what you learn with the Sr TPM and engineering leads.\nWhat success looks like\nIn 30 days, you've run a release alongside the interim owner and documented every manual step.\nBy 90 days, you own the release calendar and FOTA rollouts, and release runbooks are written for firmware, app and backend.\nBy six months, releases ship on a predictable cadence, release notes are fully automated and rollbacks are rare and fast.\nRequirements\nWhat you bring\n4+ years in release management, release coordination or a closely related role.\nHands-on experience releasing software for connected devices, consumer electronics, wearables or IoT, including firmware updates in the field.\nWorking knowledge of branching and release strategies, CI/CD pipelines and QA cycles. You partner with engineers on pipelines rather than building them.\nExperience with app store review cycles and staged rollouts.\nStrong Jira skills, including versions, release workflows and automation rules.\nCalm, clear communication when a release is at risk, and the confidence to call a no-go.\nNice to have\nExperience with wearables and vertical integration\nExperience coordinating releases with offshore teams across time zones.\nBenefits\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary and benefits including 100% employer paid supplemental medical policy \nRemote working environment\nAn opportunity to make a significant impact in a fast-growing company\nGenerous PTO\nCollaborative, creative, and supportive work environment","description_format":"text","description_chars":2870,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T22:40:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T00:27:28Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cosmo-together-release-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cosmo-together-release-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T00:27:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1022,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2200805},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2200805"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcosmo-together-release-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcosmo-together-release-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcosmo-together-release-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cosmo-together-release-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcosmo-together-release-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3928688}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cosmotogether.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3928688},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
