So I needed to find a full remote role because my current hybrid arrangement isn’t gonna work out moving forward. I ended up receiving an offer for a build and release engineer position.

My background is in traditional DevOps, supporting developers and their CI pipelines which I do enjoy. The toolset is: GitHub actions, AWS, EKS runner infra.

This new position is more like technical program/project management. I’ll be responsible for what releases go out the door, managing the GitHub branching strategy, and also owning the CI/CD pipelines + release automation.

The new role is a +20% TC, full remote position. Has anyone else made this transition? Loved it? Hated it? Interested to hear your experiences.
