Release Train Engineer (RTE)

SAFe is introduced, the cadence is running, the teams are well-rehearsed – and this is exactly where the real work begins. For an established Agile Release Train with several teams, we are looking for an experienced Release Train Engineer who does not manage the ART but develops it further.

The focus is on flow, quality and measurable value creation: Where does it get stuck between teams? Which dependencies cost speed every PI all over again? Which routines are ritual rather than useful? As part of the ART Leadership Team, you shape the answers – together with teams, managers and stakeholders.

The role combines facilitation, systemic coaching and genuine design responsibility.

Tasks:

• Orchestration of the Agile Release Train as well as preparation, facilitation and follow-up of PI Plannings, ART Syncs, System Demos and Inspect & Adapt

• Active management of dependencies, risks and impediments across team and departmental boundaries

• Assessment of the ART maturity level and derivation of a concrete development roadmap with clear milestones

• Building and interpreting flow metrics as a basis for decisions rather than for reporting

• Support of Product Management and Product Owners with backlog quality, prioritization and value focus

• Coaching of Scrum Masters, Product Owners and managers along Lean-Agile principles

• Stakeholder and change management at multiple levels, including active participation in the ART Leadership Team

• Shared responsibility for planning and budget topics as well as steering collaboration with external partners

Requirements:

• Several years of experience as a Release Train Engineer in a scaled agile organization

• Certifications in the SAFe environment (RTE mandatory, SPC an advantage)

• Solid understanding of Lean-Agile leadership and systemic coaching – beyond the framework

• Confidence in moderating and facilitating large groups and in handling conflicts

• Experience in change management and in introducing agile metrics that are actually used

• Independent, structured way of working with a high degree of personal responsibility and a drive to shape things

• Strong communication skills between teams, management and business

• Very good German language skills

General conditions:

• Start: Short-term, by arrangement

• Duration: Initially 12 months, designed for extension

• Workload: 100 %

• Presence: High on-site presence desired, remote on occasion

• Language: German
