DevOps & Release Engineer, Elite

About the Team

Point of Rental is the global leader in rental software. Our platform runs the day-to-day operations of thousands of rental businesses worldwide. This team owns the enterprise cloud applications at the center of that platform, including a multi-year modernization of our battle-tested WinForms product into a modern web UI. We're hiring a DevOps & Release Engineer to own how that product gets built, tested, and shipped, so every release is predictable, repeatable, and low-risk.

What You'll Do

• Own the release lifecycle for our enterprise platform: plan release schedules, coordinate with Dev and QA, and run go/no-go readiness checks

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure for both the legacy desktop product and the new web application

• Deploy updates, fixes, and hotfixes across environments (dev, QA, staging, production)

• Manage versioning, branching, and build artifacts so every release is traceable

• Define and maintain rollback plans so a failed release can be recovered quickly

• Automate repetitive build, deploy, and release tasks with Python and Bash

• Use AI coding tools every day to write scripts, troubleshoot pipelines, and speed up automation work

• Investigate and resolve production and post-release issues, then fix the root cause in the process

• Produce release notes and keep stakeholders informed on release status

Who You Are

• 3-5 years as a DevOps or Release Engineer, including owning releases end to end: scheduling, versioning, deployment, and rollback

• Hands-on AWS experience in production environments

• Strong Linux skills (Debian/Ubuntu preferred), including the command line

• Strong scripting in Python (preferred) or Bash

• Strong Git skills and experience with branching strategies such as GitFlow or trunk-based development

• Experience with deployment and automation tools such as Jenkins, AWS SSM, Rundeck, or Ansible

• Everyday use of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), with the judgment to review what they produce

• Calm, methodical troubleshooting when a release goes sideways

• Availability for occasional evening or weekend release windows

• Preferred: Windows server environments, Docker, artifact repositories (Artifactory, Nexus, AWS ECR), blue/green or canary deployments, feature flags, NoSQL (DynamoDB, Redis), change management processes
