About the Job As a Release Train Engineer, you will be an integral part of the product development process, ensuring that developed functionality is successfully beta tested and released to meet internal and customer expectations.
This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders across product, design, marketing, and engineering to oversee the release process.
This role will primarily focus on the release management aspects of our Agile development process.
As the development teams grow and more dependencies are introduced, the role may expand to running traditional SAFe PI events, where in one place these releases are joint planned and mapped out together.
The Release Train Engineer (RTE) plays a crucial role in ensuring that software releases are well-planned, coordinated, and executed effectively, providing our teams with clarification that what they have delivered is meeting expectations.

Schedule and train internal teams / people on new functionality.
Establish and maintain strong relationships with beta customers and key stakeholders.
Beta Testing Oversight: Act as the primary point of contact for support during beta release.
Gather feedback and requirements from beta customers and communicate these to product managers.
Ensure that beta testing is thorough and focused on validating functionality.
Quality Assurance and Issue Resolution: Collaborate with QA and testing teams to ensure beta releases meet quality and testing standards.
Monitor and track the progress of beta releases and address any issues or defects promptly.
Communicate any fixes with affected customers and progress the beta testing process.
Release Planning and Coordination: Work closely with development, product management, and marketing to plan full releases (multiple functionalities forming a release), schedule and coordinate the release process.
Manage dependencies and ensure cross-functional teams are aligned for successful beta testing.
Release Documentation: Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation detailing all functionality and their dependencies.
Create release plans and documentation that provide a clear roadmap for releasing features to production.
Ensure that all stakeholders have access to up-to-date release documentation.
Continuous Improvement: As with all Agile roles, form a cadence of ceremonies with Product Managers, Tech Leads, and Designers to look at ways to improve the process.
Expand these sessions to customers and other stakeholders where necessary.
Desired Experience Agile Experience: Proven Experience and in-depth knowledge of Agile methodologies and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Project Management Skills: Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines.
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional ability to build and maintain strong relationships with customers, regulatory services, and internal teams.
