Position Summary
League is seeking a Build & Release Engineer to join our team. This role sits at the intersection of CI/CD infrastructure, release automation, and developer experience, with a strong emphasis on leveraging AI to scale engineering systems and workflows.
You will own and evolve the systems that power how software is built, tested, and released across League’s platform spanning web, mobile (iOS/Android), and backend services. You will design reliable, scalable, and AI-augmented build and release pipelines that enable teams to ship faster with confidence.
This role combines hands-on engineering, operational excellence, and AI-driven innovation to improve delivery velocity, reliability, and developer productivity across the organization.

AI-Native Engineering & Automation (Core Competency)
- Design and implement AI-assisted workflows to:
- Automate release validation, failure triage, and incident analysis
- Optimize pipeline performance and identify bottlenecks
- Generate and maintain build scripts, configs, and test scaffolding
- Build AI-powered tooling (agents, bots, or copilots) to support:
- Release orchestration
- Developer self-service workflows
- CI/CD diagnostics and recommendations
- Integrate AI into developer workflows to reduce manual effort and improve productivity
- Continuously evaluate and adopt new AI tools and patterns to evolve League’s delivery capabilities
Developer Experience & Tooling
- Build and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and CLI utilities to improve developer workflows
- Enhance observability of build and release systems (logs, metrics, alerts)
- Create and maintain documentation and self-service tooling for engineering teams
- Partner with developers to understand friction points and improve release experience at scale
Security, Compliance & Platform Reliability
- Implement and maintain secure build and release practices, including:
- Certificate management
- Secrets management
- Compliance with platform and security standards
- Partner with Security and Platform teams to ensure safe and compliant releases
- Improve reliability through incident management, postmortems, and continuous improvement loops
About You:
- 3+ years experience in build/release engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering
- Strong experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins)
- Proficiency with cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS/Azure acceptable)
