We’re looking for a remote full-time Build/Release Engineer to join our team and help continue building Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM). PMM is a free and open-source platform for monitoring and managing the performance of SQL/NoSQL based databases and servers or cloud instances.
We are looking for a highly qualified and self-motivated Build/Release Engineer to enhance, manage and maintain our branch/build/release process for multiple products across multiple platforms. This isn’t for anyone that just wants to maintain the status quo, we want you to ensure we’re following best practices but also working efficiently across our entire engineering department. We’re also in the midst of developing a SaaS component to our offering and will need someone capable of getting the build/release process off the ground as we strive to achieve CI/CD.
