hackajob is collaborating with Sierra to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. About us At Sierra, we're creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Singapore, Japan, and Sydney. We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do. Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google's AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace. What you'll do As a Forward Deployed Infrastructure Engineer at Sierra, and a founding member of this function, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of customer deployments, while helping define how Sierra's AI platform is deployed and operated across enterprise environments. You'll work directly with enterprise customers to architect, deploy, upgrade, and manage Sierra's AI platform infrastructure - ensuring every deployment meets their security, compliance, and operational requirements. In addition, you'll establish the standards, tooling, and processes that make deployments scalable and repeatable, and partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Sales, and Customer Success. This role will define how Sierra scales some of its most complex customer engagements. Own deployment architecture conversations and execution - designing and implementing deployment strategies across customer environments, including VPC configuration, permissioning, networking, and infrastructure provisioning. Manage the full infrastructure lifecycle for some of Sierra's most critical customers: initial deployment, ongoing upgrades, scaling, and incident support. Develop and maintain deployment runbooks, upgrade procedures, and automation tooling to make operations repeatable and reliable. Partner with engineering teams to ensure Sierra's platform is deployable and operable across diverse customer requirements. Work with customers' platform engineering, security, and DevOps teams to navigate their infrastructure constraints and compliance requirements. Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success to scope infrastructure requirements during pre-sales and onboarding, translating customer needs into concrete deployment plans. What you'll bring 4+ years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, or solutions architecture roles - with significant time spent on customer-facing deployment work. Deep experience with AWS services, Terraform, container orchestration, and cloud networking (VPCs, IAM, DNS, load balancing). Track record of managing deployments in customer-owned cloud environments, including navigating security reviews, compliance requirements, and change management processes. Ability to navigate ambiguity with enterprise stakeholders - from platform engineers to CISOs - and turn infrastructure conversations into actionable deployment plans. Strong operational instincts: you think about upgrades, rollbacks, monitoring, and failure modes from the start, not as an afterthought. Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and collaborating across engineering, product, and go-to-market teams. Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. Even better Hands-on experience with Go services, GraphQL APIs, or LLM infrastructure in production environments. Past experience at an early-stage company where you built deployment operations, playbooks, and tooling. Familiarity with observability and incident management in distributed systems (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar). Experience with CI/CD pipeline design, deployment automation, or infrastructure self-service tooling for enterprise customers. Our values Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work. Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers' business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it. Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn't right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve. Intensity: We know we don't have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn't, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time. Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other's personal and professional achievements. What we offer We want our benefits to reflect our values and offer the following to full-time employees: Flexible (unlimited) paid time off Medical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family Life insurance and disability benefits Retirement plan dependent on country of employment Parental leave Fertility and family building benefits through Carrot Lunch, as well as delicious snacks and coffee to keep you energized Discretionary benefit stipend giving people the ability to spend where it matters most Free alphorn lessons These benefits are further detailed in Sierra's policies, may vary by region, and are subject to change at any time, consistent with the terms of any applicable compensation or benefits plans. Eligible full-time employees can participate in Sierra's equity plans subject to the terms of the applicable plans and policies. Be you, with us We're working to bring the transformative power of AI to every organization in the world. To do so, it is important to us that the diversity of our employees represents the diversity of our customers.

We believe our mission-driven and highly collaborative culture is a critical enabler to support long-term client outcomes and enrich the employee experience.
Release Manager - Product & Platform Delivery £75,000 - £90,000 | Hybrid - 1-2 days per week in Middlesbrough office 83zero are proud to be partnered with a leading software and technology business who are shaping the future of their industry. This is an organisation where innovation meets impact, where collaboration drives delivery, and where the right people are empowered to make a real difference. We're now on the lookout for a Release Manager who will sit right at the heart of product delivery - orchestrating how new products and features are planned, released, and enabled across the entire business. This is a high-profile, business-critical role with the chance to shape processes, influence decision-making, and ensure releases aren't just delivered on time, but land successfully with customers, partners, and internal teams. The Role This isn't about ticking boxes or enforcing heavy processes. Instead, it's about bringing clarity, alignment, and energy to the release cycle. From the very start, you'll be Embedded in the release planning process - working closely with product managers and engineering leaders to define capacity, scope, and priorities. You'll ensure teams don't overcommit, that delivery plans are realistic, and that progress is tracked with meaningful data.

In short, you'll be the person who makes sure great ideas actually reach the market - smoothly, predictably, and with impact. What We're Looking For We're not hung up on titles - you might come from a background in product management, programme management, or engineering operations - but what matters most is your ability to see the bigger picture and connect the dots. You'll combine a strong understanding of software/product delivery with excellent business awareness and communication skills. Proven experience managing and orchestrating software or product releases across multiple teams Strong background in capacity planning, roadmap alignment, and release governance Hands-on experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Aha! - not just using them, but building reports, dashboards, and insights that drive decisions A data-driven approach: confident in tracking KPIs, spotting risks, and presenting insights in a way stakeholders can act on A natural communicator who can influence, align, and energise both technical and non-technical teams Someone who thrives in orchestration - bringing order to complexity and enabling success across the organisation Why Join? This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to take ownership of a role that has visibility right across the business. You'll work with talented product and engineering teams, but also partner with commercial functions - ensuring every release is not only built right, but launched right. You'll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values clarity over clutter, progress over process, and outcomes over outputs. Here, you'll have the freedom to shape how releases are run, the chance to scale best practices, and the platform to make a lasting impact.
