About the role

As a Release Manager II on VALORANT, you'll be joining the team responsible for updating and deploying our game to our players everywhere.
You will be involved with improving our product delivery pipeline with a continuous delivery mindset, using both process and technology at your disposal.
You understand what fuels games as a live service and have a passion to improve the experience for internal developers getting content out the door, and most importantly, for our players.

Own specific areas of the release pipeline, maintaining readiness, identifying risks, and driving issues to resolution
Partner with product teams to review and strengthen release practices, identifying risks early and driving mitigations before they impact players
Identify gaps in the delivery pipeline and contribute to improvements, working with other Release Managers and partner teams to implement solutions
Support and reinforce consistent release practices across teams, contributing to a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and development tools (e.g. Jenkins, Perforce, Git, Datadog, JIRA), with the ability to troubleshoot issues and collaborate effectively with engineers
Proven ability to drive issues to resolution in a live service or operational environment
That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player.
Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday.
