NEW!!! Build Release Manager - Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)

APPLY HERE

As a manager of release engineering for Cisco, you will be put in charge of the engineering team on the frontline of building and releasing software for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS). Your responsibilities will include both strategic planning and managing day-to-day activities of the team. Strategically, you will drive the definition and implementation of software configuration management (SCM) strategies, gather requirements for and drive the design and implementation of new build automation solutions, streamline release procedures involving multiple stakeholders and ensure proper documentation of these procedures. Daily, you will supervise the engineers on the team as they create and maintain build environments and source repositories for UCS software (firmware, management software and drivers), automate builds, packaging, release and reporting activities, and provide excellent customer service to QA, Manufacturing and other cross-functional teams.

Our dynamic environment requires crisp prioritization to maintain team direction. Persistence in staying on task and driving both near and long term projects to completion is paramount, as is a big picture vision of release engineering and configuration management as functions driving product quality.
