Responsibilities
As a
Release Engineer
you will play a key role in building, maintaining, and evolving the automation systems that power Thunderbird’s software releases across desktop and mobile platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS).
You’ll join the Release Operations team, which is responsible for ensuring our builds are reliable, reproducible, secure, and delivered on time to millions of users worldwide.
