Release Train Engineer

Technica Corporation is seeking highly skilled Release Train Engineer.  Serves as the operational and cultural leader of a multi‑team Agile release train consisting of two (2) development teams, two (2) infrastructure teams, and one (1) operations/support & governance team. This role goes far beyond SAFe ceremony facilitation: the RTE drives delivery excellence, contract KPI attainment, operational rigor, and process maturity across all teams. Acting as a consultant‑leader, the RTE develops and enforces SOPs, champions continuous improvement, and coaches BAs, team leads, and client stakeholders on planning, prioritization, value delivery, and high‑quality customer engagement. The RTE ensures that teams consistently produce well‑defined requirements, prototypes and design outputs, professional documentation, and client‑ready demos while maintaining a predictable cadence of delivery and a strong, healthy team culture.

The Release Train Engineer builds alignment across technical, operational, and business domains; mitigates risks; manages cross‑team dependencies; and maintains a forward‑looking view of workload, capacity, and quality expectations. This role requires frequent and proactive communication, clear escalation management, strong relationship building, and the ability to influence without authority. Ultimately, the RTE owns the rhythm, transparency, and overall performance of the release train.

The position would be located at a government facility in Washington, D.C. and require work to be performed onsite. Any hybrid work schedule would require customer approval. The government has established policies for on-site vs hybrid work which varies across divisions and contracts. Where allowed, remote work must be coordinated with the team lead and/or government POC, ensuring there is zero interruption with the delivery of our services.

The annual base salary range for this position is $110,000 – $145,000. Please note that the salary information is a general guideline only. Technica considers factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, key skills, location, as well as market and business considerations when extending an offer.
