We are seeking an experienced Release Manager/Release Train Engineer to lead delivery for a mission-critical DoD mission planning software system. In this role, you will apply systems thinking, Agile program leadership, and organizational acumen to orchestrate multiple teams of software and infrastructure engineers — driving predictable, incremental delivery that meets customer commitments and mission objectives.

This is a leadership role at the intersection of systems engineering, Agile execution, and program management. You will be the primary decision authority for release strategy, scope governance, and cross-team integration across a complex, multi-disciplinary program.
** Responsibilities:
*** Own product strategy, roadmap, and scope governance, making value-based trade-off decisions that align customer objectives, contractual commitments, and program constraints
* Lead Agile program execution by facilitating PI Planning, backlog prioritization, release planning, and cross-team synchronization ceremonies to ensure aligned and predictable delivery
* Establish and govern program-level release strategy, integration sequencing, and deployment planning across multi-disciplinary teams and external partners
* Serve as the primary decision authority for scope alignment and dependency management, proactively resolving cross-thread conflicts that impact schedule, integration, or customer commitments
* Drive program execution transparency through clear communication of priorities, risks, and delivery health to engineering leadership and senior stakeholders
* Implement and continuously improve release and Agile flow management practices using delivery metrics to increase predictability, reduce late-stage integration churn, and strengthen stakeholder confidence
** Required Qualifications
*** Must possess an active Secret security clearance
* Willing to be submitted for and obtain a Top Secret security clearance
* Bachelor's degree in systems engineering, computer science, information technology, or a related STEM field
* 8+ years of experience in software release management, systems engineering, or a closely related program leadership role
* engineering principles including requirements management, system architecture, integration, verification, and validation
* Proven ability to lead Agile release trains or multi-team Agile programs, including facilitation of PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, and Inspect & Adapt ceremonies
* Experience defining and governing release processes including branching strategies, build pipelines, and deployment planning in a multi-team environment
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to translate technical delivery status into program-level risk and decision framing for senior leadership
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to dependency management and risk mitigation
** Desired Qualifications
*** SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE) or SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) certification — strongly preferred
* Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and practices (e.g., Cameo, SysML, SysML v2)
* Experience with CI/CD tool chains (e.g., Git Lab CI, Jenkins) and version control workflows in a Dev Sec Ops  environment
* Familiarity with containerization and cloud platforms (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure)
* Understanding of software security principles and experience integrating security checks into the release pipeline (Dev Sec Ops )
* Scripting or automation experience (e.g., Python, Bash) to support pipeline visibility and tooling integrations
* Experience on DoD programs with formal configuration management and CMMI or similar process frameworks
