Release Engineer Duties and Responsibilities
No two release engineers are exactly alike, as required skills vary from employer to employer. However, after analyzing online job postings, we identified several core duties and responsibilities common to the job:
Build and Oversee Release Platform From writing and executing test scripts to building software packages, release engineers ensure that new products are configured and coded properly for successful integration and operations. They assemble data on release metrics, oversee the source code management system, maintain multiple build environments, and document steps relating to the release process.
Assess Software Performance Release engineers are responsible for assessing the quality and risks of new products. They build test environments and troubleshoot any issues pertaining to the software's performance. They work with software engineers to resolve any issues and document fixes for use in future reference materials.
Set Release Schedule Using data analysis and production progress reports, release engineers organize a release schedule for a software product. They perform integration, oversee release deployment, generate release notes, and configure software to all platforms.
Assist Development Team Release engineers build tools to support the software engineering process, review engineering practices, assist in researching new technologies, and meet with the development team to discuss future needs. They also provide ongoing support for completed products and maintain servers.
Release Engineer Skills and Qualifications
Successful release engineers have a strong understanding of computer languages and are typically detail-oriented, time-conscious multitaskers. Those entering this field should display the following skills:- Programming - release engineers are proficient in various computer languages and demonstrate a full understanding of programming best practices; knowledge of databases, networking systems, and computer operating systems is also essential
- Troubleshooting - testing new software to identify and resolve any potential issues is a major part of this role
- Analytical thinking - analyzing instructions to create code is a requirement for release engineers
- Collaboration- release engineers regularly work with software developers, production managers, testers, vendors, and others involved in the production process
- Communication skills - strong verbal and written communication skills are essential, as release engineers communicate with various personnel and help write manuals and reference materials
- Time management - in order to make new software products available to the public in a timely manner, companies rely on release engineers to build systems and fix bugs according to schedule
- Change management - release engineers can comfortably adapt to any changes in the production process and can meet rescheduled deadlines
Release Engineer Education and Training
Most employers prefer release engineers who possess a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer information systems, computer engineering, or a similar area. Some of these four-year programs include internships, which can be beneficial. While not always required, it can be helpful to hold certifications in various programming languages, such as JavaScript and C++. Continuing education is typically needed to stay up to date on industry changes.Release Engineer Salary and Outlook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that all professionals involved in computer programming, including release engineers, earn an annual median salary of just over $82,000. Release engineers in the lowest 10th percentile can make about $47,000 per year, while high earners are paid around $132,500 annually. Release engineers working for software publishers realize the highest annual salaries in this field, at about $100,000. Those employed in computer systems design can earn yearly salaries of $87,500. Those employed in the state of Washington earn the highest salaries in the U.S. ($121,000), followed by professionals in the District of Columbia (nearly $102,000) and California (just over $96,000). Colorado and Virginia round out the top five states at $96,000 and $95,000, respectively. According to the BLS, this occupation could see a 7 percent decline over the next decade or so, primarily due to outsourcing. Prospective release engineers with a bachelor's degree and knowledge of a wide variety of programming languages will fare best in the job market.Helpful Resources
