Job Summary:

The Release Train Engineer (RTE) serves as a servant leader and coach for one or more “Agile Release Train (ART)”. In a highly regulated environment, the RTE ensures predictable, high-quality, compliant value delivery at scale while navigating strict governance, audit requirements, risk controls, and security mandates using Agile and SAFe principles mixed in with some waterfall aspect.

• Proactively manage program-level “risks, impediments, dependencies”, and compliance blockers — escalating to governance/risk committees as needed and ensuring issues do not impact release integrity or regulatory deadlines.
• Escalate and help resolve program-level impediments that teams or Scrum Masters cannot address on their own
• Collaborate with Product Management, System Architects, Business Owners, and other stakeholders to maintain alignment between strategy and execution.
• Drive “flow optimization” and predictability metrics while ensuring releases adhere to change management windows, rollback capabilities, and zero-downtime requirements. Foster a culture of improvement, and adherence to SAFe Core Values and Agile principles.
• Support preparation for and execution of releases/deployments in coordination with Release Management/DevOps teams
• Coach and mentor Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and teams on agile maturity and scaling practices.
