Summary
Jay Spang is a Principal Build and Release Engineer with over two decades in software delivery and 19 years focused on build, deployment, and release engineering across C/C++, .NET, Java, and interpreted languages. He has driven CI/CD and SRE practices at scale—designing autoscaling Jenkins fleets, build-as-a-service platforms for multiple game studios, and resilient AWS build infrastructures. Jay blends deep automation skills (Perl, Python, NodeJS, Ruby, PowerShell) with enterprise SCM administration (Perforce, GitHub Enterprise) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Packer, CloudFormation, Chef). Notably, he created pre-commit verification systems and sandboxed Jenkins environments to let teams validate pipelines before production delivery, reducing integration pain for large engineering orgs. Based in Mountlake Terrace, WA, he’s equally comfortable optimizing developer workflows as he is managing cloud and on-prem data center operations for global game development.
