Stafford Gray is looking for a senior Build & Release Engineer to manage and improve application build, release, and configuration management for a state government client. You'll own the full application build process for two large, mission-critical human services systems: a benefits eligibility system and a child welfare case management system. You'll also drive automation to support CI/CD and testing.
This role is for a veteran configuration management professional who has owned build automation and source control administration in enterprise environments, from the legacy toolchain through modern Azure DevOps.
What You'll Do

- Perform build and deployment activities across multiple environments, modifying tasks and variables at the build and deployment stages to move releases through established processes
- Serve as Azure DevOps Administrator for one of the systems, including creating and managing branches for each development stage across Release and Sandbox environments
- Monitor and optimize build pipeline performance to reduce build times, improve reliability, and increase developer productivity
- Conduct root-cause analysis on build and deployment failures, and put preventive and long-term corrective measures in place
- Assess build-process issues to decide what can be resolved internally and what needs escalation, working across servers with varying levels of access
- Deploy new releases of build automation, configuration management, and version management software
- Serve as technical advisor and primary liaison with vendor development teams
- Advise development staff on project administration for applications that use build, configuration, and version management tools
- Create and maintain build process documentation
