The MetaMask Delivery Team

The MetaMask Delivery Team is focused on software delivery for our Extension and Mobile platforms. There are many teams at MetaMask building a range of features - teams for Accounts, Swaps, Confirmations, Snaps, etc - and they all build their code on and release their features through our Extension and Mobile products. Our team is responsible for ensuring these teams are able to consistently and frictionlessly deliver their features through and throughout the software delivery lifecycle, to the users of these products.

To achieve that, we have a primary responsibility of managing and facilitating the Extension and Mobile release processes. A majority of our time is spent on this, and it requires oversight, coordination and hands on action in support of release planning, quality assurance, branch management and store submission.

In addition, we support, advise and unblock teams at earlier stages of the delivery lifecycle (e.g. planning, development, PR review, code merge). We do this by supporting and troubleshooting the use of the tools, processes, development environments and automations that make up our software delivery systems. As such, we need to be responsive day-to-day to any challenges that are slowing down or blocking any team’s ability to move code and features forward towards
