Who we are
Aizon is a software-as-a-service provider that transforms manufacturing operations in life science industries using advanced analytics and artificial intelligence.
Following our recent Series C round of growth funding, we are looking for ambitious new team members motivated to directly impact our future growth and success as we launch what we consider “Aizon 3.0”. Aizon is helping pharma manufacturers and CDMOs make better decisions in GMP operations.
- What makes us different from other manufacturing platforms? We help operations leaders and engineers avoid endless cycles of chasing data in disparate and heavy-handed systems and rapidly understand how to run their manufacturing processes better.
- We’re solving multiple problems in GMP operations that cost manufacturers millions yearly while accelerating their digital maturity journey. One of our unique capabilities is the ability to operationalize the use of predictive AI models in real-time without a big data science staff.
- We’re backed by both industry and software investor firms like NewVale Capital, Atlantic Bridge, Danaher, Honeywell, CrossLink, and UnCork, with solid industry and technology expertise.
Our mission is to improve global health by optimizing how medicines are manufactured so that pharma and biotech companies can provide patients worldwide with the right medicine at the right time and price.
Join us if you are motivated to directly impact our company's success and growth path forward and, more importantly, by positively contributing to the life science industry and deserving patients worldwide.
The Position
As a Release Automation Engineer, you will be an integral part of our dynamic Engineering team, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain automation pipelines for software build, test, and release processes, reducing manual intervention and accelerating delivery cycles.
- Lead the implementation of CI/CD workflows to support continuous integration, testing, and deployment, ensuring consistency, reliability, and traceability throughout the software lifecycle.
- Coordinate, communicate, and monitor automated release activities across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that engineering, testing, and compliance tasks are completed accurately and on time.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate automation tools into the planning, scheduling, and execution of software releases, aligning with project timelines and business goals.
- Partner with Quality Assurance and Regulatory teams to embed automated validation and compliance checks into the release workflow, ensuring adherence to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, GxP, and GMP standards.
- Maintain detailed, audit-ready release documentation — including release notes, SOPs, and automated change logs — to support traceability and regulatory compliance
- Participate in risk assessments, leveraging automation to identify and flag release-related issues proactively, and propose mitigation strategies to ensure software integrity.
- Act as a liaison between development, QA, and operations teams, automating communication flows and status updates where possible to improve visibility and responsiveness.
- Continuously evaluate release management processes to identify opportunities for automation, enhance operational efficiency, and promote collaboration across teams.
