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.
