| # Release engineer/manager onboarding |
| |
| Googler facing documentation can be found at go/flutter-release-workflow. |
| |
| ### Responsibility |
| |
| Release engineer is responsible for: |
| * Branch alignment and/or shepherding cherry picks |
| * Decision making related to cherry pick risk |
| * Verification that pre and post submits pass prior to publishing |
| * Contributor facing communication |
| * Some public facing post release communication |
| |
| In the past (and possibly in the future) there was a distinction between a release engineer and release manager. |
| For now the responsibilities are the same and we will refer to the person managing the release as a release engineer. |
