Uniswap Labs builds products that help millions of people access DeFi simply and securely – from the Uniswap Web App and Wallet to crypto infrastructure like the Uniswap Trading API, and Unichain. Uniswap Labs also contributes to the development of the Uniswap Protocol, which has processed over $2.9 trillion in volume across thousands of tokens on Ethereum and 12+ other chains. When you join Uniswap, you become part of a team that's reshaping the way value flows on the internet. As a Senior Release Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to build our release infrastructure from the ground up, transforming how we ship products to millions of users. This is a greenfield role where you'll solve complex technical challenges that directly impact our ability to deliver reliable, high-quality features across our web and mobile applications. Reporting to our Head of Platform Engineering, you'll be the architect of our release future.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build and own the end-to-end release process for Uniswap's web and mobile applications, moving beyond our current manual processes to create scalable, automated systems.
- Design and implement comprehensive CI/CD pipelines that enable safe, frequent releases while maintaining the quality bar our users expect.
- Create release infrastructure from scratch, including automated testing frameworks, deployment orchestration, and rollback mechanisms for our consumer-facing products.
- Establish quality gates and validation processes that catch issues before they reach production, dramatically improving our release confidence.
- Work cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering teams to understand release requirements and build solutions that accelerate feature delivery.
- Implement sophisticated release strategies including feature flags, staged rollouts, and A/B testing infrastructure for our web and mobile platforms.
- Build monitoring and observability into the release process, creating visibility into deployment health and automated alerting for issues.
- Transform our release process from reactive to proactive, establishing practices that prevent problems rather than just responding to them.
- Document and evangelize release processes, making it easy for any engineer to ship code safely and confidently.
- Drive continuous improvement by analyzing release metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing solutions that improve velocity without sacrificing quality.
REQUIREMENTS
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with significant focus on release engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering for consumer applications.
- Proven experience shipping and managing releases for high-traffic web and mobile applications at scale.
- Deep expertise in building CI/CD pipelines from scratch (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, or similar).
- Strong programming skills in languages like TypeScript, Python, or Go for building robust automation tools.
- Experience with mobile app release processes (iOS/Android app stores, code signing, distribution).
