About the role
Arlo is looking for a Senior Partner Release and Operations Engineer to make partner releases predictable, well communicated, and operationally reliable. This role combines technical release management, customer-facing coordination, escalation leadership, and hands-on development of the tools and documentation systems that support the Arlo Partner Platform. You will work across Product, Engineering, QA, Operations, and external partners to turn complex release activity into a clear, repeatable operating model.
This role will work with both UK and US time zones, so preference is to be located in the Eastern Time Zone.
We recognize that no candidate meets 100% of the qualifications. If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply even if your experience does not align with every requirement.
What You Will Do
Partner Release Planning and Change Management
•
Own release schedules for partner-facing APIs, events, device capabilities, integrations, and related platform changes.
•
Coordinate release readiness across engineering, QA, security, operations, product, and partner teams, making dependencies and decision points visible.
•
Define practical change-management processes covering versioning, compatibility, deprecation, partner communications, sandbox validation, and production rollout.
•
Create release notes, changelogs, readiness checklists, migration guidance, and other communications that help partners adopt changes successfully.
•
Manage partner testing and readiness activities before production deployment, including validation of sample applications, integration paths, and operational runbooks.
Escalation and Production Operations
•
Serve as a senior point of coordination for partner-impacting incidents, release blockers, and complex escalations.
•
Bring together the right technical owners, establish clear next actions, and communicate status, mitigations, and expected timelines to partners and internal stakeholders.
•
Monitor release execution and partner-impacting platform health, escalating risks early and helping drive post-release reviews and corrective actions.
•
Identify recurring operational friction and work with engineering teams to improve reliability, observability, documentation, and support processes.
Release Tools, Documentation, and AI Enablement
•
Define and build tools, dashboards, workflows, and internal services that improve release visibility, partner readiness, and operational coordination.
•
Develop documentation and communication tooling that helps teams produce consistent, versioned, searchable partner content.
•
Apply AI-assisted workflows to release analysis, change-impact assessment, release-note generation, incident summaries, and partner communications while preserving review and approval controls.
•
Use structured data, APIs, tool calling, and auditable workflows to connect release systems, issue trackers, documentation, monitoring, and partner-facing surfaces.
•
Measure the effectiveness of release processes and tools, using partner feedback and operational data to guide continuous improvement.
