Senior Technical Program Release Manager

We are looking for a determined leader to join our Technical Program and Release Management role for the OpenBMC Core Software. You will work with engineering and product leaders on the planning and execution of programs to develop and deliver firmware enabling next-generation enterprise systems at the heart of AI infrastructure. Our work directly impacts data center management, reliability, and security across leading cloud service providers, OEMs, and hyperscale deployments. We need passionate, hard-working, and creative people to help us reach our engineering goals.

This role is embedded within the Core team and is responsible for driving release readiness, engineering quality, and operational excellence across the firmware stack. You will own release signal health – tracking dependencies, regressions, and backlog status – while championing quality metrics and SLA. You will lead DevOps initiatives including branching strategy, release management, and dashboard operations, while also driving AI tool enablement across teams. You will partner closely with engineering, QA, Platform and product management to ensure consistent, predictable, and high-quality delivery.

What you’ll be doing:

• Define, track, and drive engineering quality SLAs including unit test coverage targets, code review compliance, and PLC (Product Lifecycle) alignment across firmware releases.

• Own and communicate release signal health including tracking schedule, cross-team dependencies, identifying regressions early, and maintaining backlog status to provide leadership with accurate, real-time release readiness assessments

• Coordinate release activities across multiple firmware and platform teams, aligning incremental work with release achievements to ensure consistency and predictability.

• Assess release-readiness status, anticipate risk, and develop mitigation strategies; raise critical blockers and drive resolution across collaborator teams.

• Drive Engineering and QA teams on test plans, execution, reviews, failure analysis, and assessment of overall quality and release risk.
