Release Manager - Unity 3D Domain

As an experienced Release Manager with a strong exposure to Unity applications, CI/CD pipelines, and release governance, your role will involve driving high-quality, low-risk software releases. You will be responsible for owning end-to-end release lifecycle planning, coordination, and execution. Additionally, you will define and enforce release processes, checklists, and quality gates to ensure compliance with release standards, SLAs, and timelines. Your primary focus will be on reducing production incidents, especially in Unity modules, by implementing preventive controls and driving root cause analysis. Key Responsibilities: - Own end-to-end release lifecycle planning, coordination, and execution - Define and enforce release processes, checklists, and quality gates - Drive Go/No-Go decisions with cross-functional teams - Ensure compliance with release standards, SLAs, and timelines - Manage and improve Unity build and deployment pipelines - Identify and fix inefficiencies in Unity-based CI/CD workflows - Collaborate with DevOps teams on CI/CD pipeline optimization and build automation - Ensure alignment between performance testing, regression testing cycles, and define quality gates before releases - Analyze release failures and production incidents to reduce release risks - Act as a bridge across engineering, QA, DevOps, and Product teams for clear communication on release timelines, risks, and dependencies - Maintain visibility dashboards and reporting Qualification Required: - Solid experience as Release Manager / Release Lead / Build Engineer - Hands-on exposure to Unity / Unity3D environment - Experience in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps) - Strong understanding of build pipelines, release lifecycle, and deployment processes - Experience in release governance and quality control - Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies Good-to-Have Skills: - Experience in gaming / AR-VR / simulation domains - Exposure to performance testing and regression frameworks - Familiarity with DevOps practices and automation tools - Experience handling production incidents / live environments - Understanding of cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) Key Traits: - High level of discipline and process adherence - Strong problem-solving and ownership mindset - Ability to reduce risks and improve release quality - Strong communication and stakeholder management skills Success Criteria in Role: - Reduced production incidents, especially in Unity modules - Improved release quality and predictability - Optimized Unity pipelines and deployment cycles - Strong adherence to release governance processes As an experienced Release Manager with a strong exposure to Unity applications, CI/CD pipelines, and release governance, your role will involve driving high-quality, low-risk software releases.
