Release Producer Job at Level in Austin

Senior Release Producer – Online & Platform Team
We're looking for an organized, proactive Senior Release Producer to join our Online & Platform team. This person will be the connective tissue between our product, engineering, design, content, and QA teams ensuring that learning technology ships on time, at quality, and without surprises.

What You’ll Do
Release Calendar & Launch Readiness

Own and maintain the release calendar across our online and platform products

Define release gates and launch readiness checklists in partnership with product and engineering leads

Track feature completion, QA sign‑off, and stakeholder approvals against release milestones

Communicate release schedules and any changes clearly across the organization

Cross‑Team Coordination

Serve as the central coordination point between product managers, engineers, designers, curriculum, and QA

Run release ceremonies including go
o‑go calls, launch reviews, and post‑launch retrospectives

Proactively surface blockers, dependencies, and risks before they derail a release

Keep stakeholders informed with clear, concise status updates — no surprises

Process & Documentation

Build and refine repeatable release processes that scale as the team and product grow

Maintain release documentation including schedules, decision logs, and post‑mortems

Work with QA to ensure testing timelines are built into the release plan from the start

Identify process gaps and propose improvements that increase team velocity and confidence

What You Bring
Must Have

3–7+ years of experience in release management, production coordination, or project management for digital products (we're flexible on level for the right candidate)

Demonstrated experience owning a release calendar or production schedule across multiple workstreams

Strong cross‑functional coordination skills — you know how to keep engineers, designers, and stakeholders moving in the same direction

Comfortable working in an Agile/Scrum environment; experience facilitating sprint ceremonies or release reviews

Proficiency with project management tools (Jira, Asana, Monday, or similar)

Excellent written and verbal communication — you can translate technical updates into clear stakeholder language and vice versa

A track record of identifying risks early and solving problems before they become blockers

High organizational bandwidth — you can track multiple moving pieces across concurrent projects without dropping anything

Nice to Have

Experience in educational technology, consumer apps, or platforms serving a large and diverse user base. In addition to experience in edtech & consumer apps it would be nice to have experience in live service game projects, but not a requirement

Understanding of escalation pathways and have experience being an on‑call for a live‑service product

Experience coordinating releases that include content, media assets, or third‑party integrations alongside feature work

Experience using data and analytics to evaluate release health and inform future planning
