This role sits at the intersection of Engineering, DevOps, Product, and QA, and is expected to be hands-on: driving deployments, monitoring rollouts, running experiments, and ensuring every release is validated, well-coordinated, and delivered reliably at scale.\nThe ideal candidate combines strong technical depth in deployment engineering and observability with proven experience managing complex, high-frequency releases across many independently deployable services.\n## What You'll Do\nOwn end-to-end deployment management for all microservices powering Express Checkout, across multiple engineering teams. - Define release strategy, timelines, quality gates, readiness criteria, and go/no-go processes. - Design and manage progressive rollout strategies (canary, blue-green, staged rollouts) and run A/B tests to validate feature and performance changes before full production release. - Partner closely with Engineering, QA, Product, and DevOps to plan, sequence, and execute releases across interdependent services. - Drive functional, regression, integration, API, performance, and end-to-end testing across releases. - Build and monitor release/deployment dashboards (Grafana or equivalent) to track health, latency, error rates, and rollout progress in real time. - Query and analyze release, performance, and product metrics using SQL, ClickHouse, and BigQuery to inform go/no-go decisions and post-release health checks. - Track and manage release risks, dependencies, blockers, and mitigation plans. - Coordinate production deployments, release validation, rollback plans, and post-release monitoring. - Establish and monitor release quality metrics, including defect leakage, release stability, automation coverage, deployment success rates, and A/B test outcomes. - Identify bottlenecks in the deployment pipeline and drive improvements in tooling, automation, testing, and CI/CD workflows (Jenkins and related systems). - Lead release retrospectives and work with teams to implement corrective and preventive actions. - Maintain release documentation, deployment checklists, release notes, and governance processes. - Act as the central point of coordination during critical or high-impact releases, including incident response and rollback decisions.\n## What We're Looking For\n5-7 years of experience in Release Management, DevOps, Deployment Engineering, or a closely related engineering function, ideally in a microservices environment. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - Hands-on experience owning production deployments for microservices at scale - not just coordinating release schedules. - Practical experience designing and running A/B tests / experiments as part of feature rollout and release validation. - Working proficiency in SQL, and hands-on experience querying analytical data stores such as ClickHouse and BigQuery. - Hands-on experience with Grafana (or equivalent observability tools) for building dashboards and monitoring production releases. - Hands-on experience with CI/CD and release tooling such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar platforms. - Deep understanding of SDLC, testing methodologies, release management, and software quality practices. - Strong technical understanding of APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, version control, and production environments. - Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to drive decisions and coordinate teams during high-pressure releases. - Excellent analytical, problem-solving, planning, and communication skills. - Experience working in Agile/product development environments with frequent and iterative releases.\n## Good to Have\nExperience in fintech, payments, or checkout/transaction systems specifically - familiarity with payment flows, PSP integrations, and checkout funnel metrics. - Experience with test automation frameworks and quality engineering practices. - Knowledge of performance testing, reliability testing, and chaos/resilience testing. - Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, incident management, and engineering productivity tools.\n## Key Skills\nRelease Management\nMicroservices Deployment\nA/B Testing & Experimentation\nCI/CD (Jenkins)\nGrafana & Observability\nSQL\nClickHouse\nBigQuery\nTest Strategy & Automation\nRisk & Dependency Management\nStakeholder Management\nIncident & Rollback Management\nAgile/Scrum\n## What Success Looks Like\nMicroservice releases for Express Checkout are deployed predictably, on schedule, and with minimal production issues. - A/B tests and staged rollouts are used consistently to de-risk feature and performance changes before full release. - Clear quality gates and release readiness criteria are consistently followed across teams. - Engineering and Product stakeholders have real-time visibility into release progress, risks, and dependencies via dashboards. - Production defects and release-related incidents are continuously reduced through better testing, monitoring, and automation. - The deployment process becomes faster, more reliable, and increasingly automated.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5339,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T03:35:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/juspay-program-manager-release","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/juspay-program-manager-release.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T13:48:22Z","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":18564,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":59416},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59416"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjuspay-program-manager-release"},{"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%2Fjuspay-program-manager-release"},{"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%2Fjuspay-program-manager-release"},{"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/juspay-program-manager-release\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjuspay-program-manager-release"}]}
