Technical Release Program Manager

Optery is seeking a hands‑on Technical Release Program Manager to lead our product and platform release process across web, backend, and mobile applications. This is an execution‑focused role for someone who can work closely with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to ensure that every release is planned, tested, documented, and communicated. The role requires strong front‑end and mobile application development experience, preferably in JavaScript and React.

Base pay range

$75,000.00 / yr - $125,000.00 / yr

Key Responsibilities

• Own Optery’s release calendar and cadence across frontend, backend, and mobile, and ensure it is kept in sync with sprint plans and business priorities.
• Participate in sprint planning and backlog grooming to confirm work is properly ticketed, scoped, and sequenced for release.
• Coordinate and manage release readiness : confirm all testing is complete, environments are available, dependencies are resolved, and rollback / mitigation steps are defined.
• QA and Testing : perform detailed QA and testing of new releases, provide feedback and resolve issues.
• Serve as the day‑to‑day point of contact for release execution, bridging engineering, product, marketing, customer‑facing, and business teams so all parties know what is shipping and when.
• Document and distribute release notes and change communications for internal audiences; ensure customer‑facing teams have what they need for external communication.
• Track and surface release risks, blockers, and post‑release issues; support troubleshooting with engineering and QA as needed.
• Propose and implement incremental improvements to the release process (checklists, templates, metrics) to increase predictability and reduce manual work.
