Understand MySQL concepts including migrations, indexes, and the impact of database changes.
Have proven release management experience in a SaaS environment, managing multiple concurrent releases across cross-functional teams.
Bring strong project and process management skills, including tracking scope, dependencies, and release gates.
Have strong communication and documentation skills and work closely with Engineering, QA, Product, and CS.

Produce a release manifest for every release, covering contents, teams, commits, migrations, and configuration changes.
Enforce branching, merge, cherry-pick, release-branch, tag, and version discipline across repositories.
Own the known state, availability, scheduling, data refresh, and configuration parity of Devtest, Acceptance, Beta, and Production.
Own the build-promotion and deployment pipeline, reduce manual steps, and verify deployments.
Track release statuses and metrics, run retrospectives for failed or rolled-back releases, and maintain release runbooks and documentation.
