An agent doesn't go from a developer's laptop to production in one step here — it moves through a staged pipeline with real gates at every stage, then spends its first two weeks in production under close review before anyone trusts it to act on its own. As a Senior Agent Release Engineer, you'll own that entire path: the CI/CD pipeline every agent and every model change moves through, the automated checks that decide whether a release is safe to promote, and the rollback plan for when something isn't. You'll also own model tiering — making sure each agent is running on the model tier that actually fits its task, since that's one of the biggest cost levers on a platform running well over a hundred agents at once. If you like turning "we hope this works" into "here's the automated gate that proves it," this is that role.
Skills and competencies:
- Own and continuously improve the CI/CD pipeline every agent and every model or prompt change moves through, from initial commit through sandbox, development, and staging, before anything reaches production.
- Design and maintain the automated gates that decide whether a release is safe to promote — evaluation score thresholds, security scan results, guardrail test results — so a human isn't manually eyeballing test output before every promotion.
- Own progressive rollout for model and agent changes: canary a change to a small slice of traffic or sessions first, watch the quality and cost metrics live, and only promote to full traffic once those metrics hold.
- Build and maintain the rollback path for every stage of the pipeline, so that a bad release can be reversed in minutes, not hours, and so the trigger conditions for rollback are automatic rather than someone noticing a problem by chance.
