To support this transformation, we are looking for an experienced and motivated Release Train Engineer (RTE) who will enable our teams to deliver value efficiently and continuously. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a complex, innovative environment and believes in what is possible rather than what is not.

The Position

As a Release Train Engineer (RTE) for Digital Services, you are the servant leader and coach for our Agile Release Train (ART). You will coordinate program-level processes and execution, facilitate key ceremonies, manage dependencies, and drive continuous improvement.

You will partner closely with Product Management, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Solution Architects, and stakeholders across Service Innovation and Marketing to ensure alignment between strategy and execution.

Your role is central to connecting teams, synchronizing deliverables, and maintaining focus on value delivery across the Digital Services portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate Agile Release Train (ART) events, including PI Planning, ART syncs, system demos, and retrospectives.
• Coordinate across multiple Agile teams to ensure successful program-level execution and alignment with business goals.
• Identify and manage program risks, dependencies, and impediments, ensuring timely resolution or escalation.
• Collaborate with Product Management to ensure the ART backlog is well-defined, prioritized, and aligned to the overall roadmap.
• Drive continuous improvement by assessing ART performance and implementing improvements in flow and delivery.
• Support and mentor Scrum Masters in applying Lean-Agile principles and practices.
• Foster cross-team collaboration and transparency with stakeholders across Service Innovation and Digital Services Marketing.
• Oversee budgeting, reporting, and metrics related to ART performance and delivery outcomes.
• Act as a champion for the Scaled Agile transformation, promoting collaboration, trust, and empowerment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in program or project management within an Agile or SAFe environment.
• Proven ability to coordinate complex, multi-team programs and drive alignment toward shared goals.
• Strong understanding of SAFe principles, roles, and ceremonies; RTE certification preferred.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and levels.
• Strong organizational and facilitation skills, with a proactive and structured approach to problem-solving.
• Experience working in high-tech, software, or service-oriented organizations.
• Technical background or strong affinity with software development, DevOps and/or Digital Services.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written); experience working with international and cross-functional teams.
• Flexible mindset with a drive for learning, continuous improvement, and innovation.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the delivery of Digital Services at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
