Director Software Build and Release

Sonos is the wireless HiFi system that allows you to access all the music on earth, in every room, wirelessly.

Senior Director for Sonos Core Engineering Group. The group includes Software Release, Release Verification and Certification, Test Automation Infrastructure (for both functional and performance testing), Build Infrastructure (for web services, mobile devices, and embedded systems), DevOps, and Product Data. Our goal is to create seamless, friction free platforms that deliver high quality, small batch software releases to end users with no disruptions. We strive to improve our delivery metrics around release frequency, release failure rate, release lead time, and system time to recovery. We strive to create self-service platforms that empower development teams to create and own their services and features in production. We believe in Agile/Lean software development principals and embrace the challenge of improving the value stream provided by constantly building, testing, and releasing software. I am excited by the opportunity to be working in this space. The merger of development, testing, delivery, and operations is producing innovations that dramatically improve developer productivity and customer satisfaction.
