About Release

Every company that is building software has to manage environments. This is time consuming and takes away from building things customers want. Most companies have one or few staging environments that become bottlenecks as code must run in staging before releasing to production. Applications are also getting more and more complex and development is getting harder to do on your laptop. Release solves these problems by making repeatable environments for every developer on every Pull Request.

About the role

About ReleaseHub:

ReleaseHub (backed by Sequoia, CRV, and YC) is the first EaaS (Environments-as-a-Service) platform built to help developers speed up time to production and reduce the undifferentiated heavy lifting of spinning up full stack environments. Our team has codified their collective 20+ years of experience in public cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Kubernetes, and more into environment-as-code abstractions that teams can use to quickly deploy complete solutions for common patterns like containerized microservices, static frontends, and ephemeral databases cloned and updated from real production data. The core concept behind the platform is the idea that Release-environments are plentiful and accessible to everyone throughout the development process. Developers, QA, product managers, and sales operations teams are no longer bottlenecked by waiting on environments to get their job done. With ample environments, product velocity increases and teams can focus on writing revenue generating code instead of worrying about environment creation and tear down.
