POSITION SUMMARY:
We are looking for a senior Release Train Engineer (RTE) to support Enterprise Intelligence and Data Solutions (EIDS) as part of BCG Federal's Workforce 3.0 managed solution for the Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS). The RTE will serve as the servant leader and chief Scrum Master / Team Coach for an EIDS Agile Release Train (ART), owning the ART operating rhythm and helping multiple technical and product teams plan, coordinate, execute, and improve together.
This role will lead PI Planning and ART-level execution; facilitate ART Syncs, iteration reviews, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt and related events; manage risks, impediments, dependencies, and escalation paths; coach Scrum Masters / Team Coaches, Product Owners, Product Management, and delivery teams; and maintain transparent delivery information in Azure DevOps (ADO). The RTE will work closely with EIDS Government leads, the Solution Train Engineer (STE), peer RTEs, DSO / SAFe implementation resources, Product and Platform leaders, BCG, and other contractor teams.
EIDS operates a large, technically diverse federal health-data portfolio spanning data, analytics, cloud, application, cybersecurity, and integration capabilities. Success in this role means a well-run ART with clear PI objectives, predictable execution, visible dependencies and risks, strong team-level Agile discipline, useful delivery metrics, and trusted relationships that enable issues to be resolved quickly without relying on direct authority.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lead ART planning, cadence, and execution
- Own end-to-end readiness and facilitation for PI Planning, including planning calendars, agendas, capacity inputs, backlog and feature readiness, dependency identification, risk preparation, planning materials, invitations, and post-event outputs.
- Facilitate ART-level events and operating rhythms, including ART Sync / Scrum of Scrums, Product Owner or product-management synchronization as appropriate, iteration reviews and demos, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt, PI reviews, and other execution forums required by the ART.
- Coordinate iteration and PI start, execution, review, and closeout so objectives, features, milestones, capacity, dependencies, and team commitments are documented, understood, and actively managed.
- Maintain ART calendars, rosters, working agreements, planning resources, and documentation so teams and stakeholders have a consistent source of truth for how the ART operates.
