Release Train Engineer

Description

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.
