Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Code Integration & Branch Management

• Own the integration of features from development branches into product/release branches.
• Manage and enforce branching and merging strategies (e.g., dev → integration → product).
• Perform regular syncs, rebases, and merges while resolving conflicts cleanly and predictably.
• Ensure only reviewed, tested, and compliant changes land in product branches.

Repository Ownership & Code Sanity

• Act as the custodian of the code repository, maintaining overall structure, hygiene, and consistency.
• Enforce coding standards, commit quality, and change discipline.
• Identify and prevent integration issues such as:
  • Broken builds
  • Partial or incompatible feature merges
  • Regressions caused by cross-team changes
• Proactively refactor or flag risky areas that degrade maintainability or stability.

Build, Validation & Stability

• Ensure integrated code builds cleanly across supported configurations.
• Run and/or gate merges on:
  • Smoke tests
  • Sanity tests
  • Regression test results (as applicable)
• Quickly triage integration failures and drive resolution with feature owners.
• Maintain a green, releasable product branch at all times.

Cross-Team Coordination

• Work closely with:
  • Feature development teams
  • Validation and QA teams
  • Release and program management
• Communicate integration risks, conflicts, and readiness clearly and early.
• Act as the single point of accountability for integration status.

Release Support

• Support release tagging, branching, and handoff.
• Assist in root-causing late-stage issues related to integration or merge errors.
• Ensure traceability of features and fixes included in each product release.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science
• Strong experience with Git-based workflows (merge, rebase, cherry-pick, conflict resolution).
• Solid understanding of software/firmware development lifecycles.
• Hands-on experience with CI/build systems and integration gating.
• Strong debugging skills to isolate integration-related failures.
• Ability to work across teams and drive issues to closure.
• Experience in firmware, embedded systems, or system software environments.
• Familiarity with release management in multi-branch, multi-product codebases.
• Experience enforcing or defining branching and release policies.
• Exposure to validation, regression, or bring-up environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
