Train Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a Release Train Engineer
• Primary focus: predictable, sustainable delivery of Technology Products via strong PI readiness, dependency/risk management, and high-signal reporting
• Continuous, sustainable delivery of business value to users through stable cadence and predictable execution
• PI Planning produces clear PI Objectives, visible dependencies, and ROAM’d risks with ownership that persists through the PI
• PI execution maintains transparency using train-level metrics (objectives completion, business value delivered, cycle time, quality signals, risk/dependency posture)
• Publish and maintain the annual PI + iteration calendar; schedule PI cadence logistics well in advance (≥ 1 month)
• Ensure Program Kanban exists and is ready to support planning and visibility
• Ensure Deliverables/Epics exist in Jira/Jira Align; ensure upcoming epics meet Definition of Ready (DoR) and Business Value is assigned where required
• Ensure DoR and Definition of Done (DoD) exist for Epics; prevent unprioritized/not-ready epics from entering the PI
• Coordinate readiness across PM, POs, SMs, Architects, Tech Management, Release Mgmt; confirm Business Owner/executive participation
• Facilitate PI Planning end-to-end: Business Context → Vision/Roadmap → Architecture Vision/Practices → Planning Context → Team Breakouts → Draft/Final Plan Review → ROAM Risks → Confidence Vote → Planning Retro
• Drive presenter readiness, timeboxing, parking lot capture, and decision visibility; keep the event collaborative and energized
• For distributed PI planning: design agenda to support time zones, define breakout SPOCs, enforce working agreements, and ensure all outcomes are digitally captured and visible
• Facilitate train-level routines as needed (Scrum of Scrums, PO Sync, PDT Sync, System Demo, Inspect Adapt/Retro)
• Track and radiate PI health: PI Objectives completion (Committed vs Completed), Business Value delivered, cycle time, velocity trend (if applicable), defect density, dependency management, and risk posture

Nice To Haves

• 1+ years of AI experience preferably utilizing CoPilot
• Expert facilitation of PI Planning and train-level routines; strong timeboxing, neutrality, and decisioning
• Strong tool fluency (Jira/Jira Align/program boards/dashboards) and data quality discipline for transparency you can trust
• Proven ability to run an evidence-based operating rhythm using metrics and dashboards to drive outcomes and improvement actions
• Deep competency in dependency and risk management (including ROAM) and proactive impediment removal at scale
• Strong coaching across SM/PO/PM/Architect partners to improve planning discipline and execution flow
• Comfort operating in governed environments (controls/compliance/change controls) without slowing flow unnecessarily
• Experience facilitating distributed PI Planning (time zones, breakout SPOCs, working agreements)
• Distributed/hybrid facilitation expert: designs PI Planning and train routines for time zones and hybrid participation (clear working agreements, breakout SPOCs, digital capture of decisions), keeping engagement high and outcomes crisp
• Governance-aware without Agile slowdown: integrates controls/compliance needs into the cadence (ready gates, evidence expectations, release readiness checkpoints) while preserving flow and transparency

Responsibilities

• Guides and coaches leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in the Agile Release Train on Agile practices and develops their understanding of Agile principles
• Executes program increment session for release train and facilitates Agile release train ceremonies

• Defines norms and agreements for the Agile Release Train and enforces the agreements
• As the Release Train Engineer (RTE) for Technology Infrastructure, you are accountable for how an ~18-team train prepares for and executes the Planning Interval (PI). You facilitate PI Planning and train-level routines, enable transparency and metrics-driven execution, optimize end-to-end flow of value, and drive continuous improvement through disciplined follow-through. This role is PI-cadence critical: preparation for the next PI begins as soon as PI Planning for the current PI completes and continues in parallel with current PI execution.
