Sr DevOps Release Engineer

Job Overview

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.

• Develop and improve tooling for build, test, release, and deployment automation, with a focus on robust, reproducible, and secure releases.
• Implement and manage deployment strategies (e.g., canary, blue/green) and rollback procedures to ensure system stability and minimal downtime.
• Own and drive improvements for the entire software release lifecycle, including infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for staging and production environments.
• Work with Product and Project Leads to define and execute a performant, predictable, and repeatable release schedule and strategy.
